Comments:
What a wild ride, especially the first 24 hours!
10 meters was tremendous, although no z17 were worked and z16 numbers seemed
light compared to the CQWW. Had a 198 hr the first day, by far my best ever.
The band blew open at the same time the multi/so2r guys found me, it was an
exhilarating experience. On Sunday propagation seemed to go in and out and
shifted around quite a bit, but never really dried up.
15 was also very good but never found a runnable frequency on Sunday. Left a
lot of mults on the table. With 10 having so much activity, I was surprised 15
was so packed all the time.
20 was very good, mostly a nighttime band for me the first day with great skip
over the pole and open to most areas of the globe. The second night was not
productive, Sunday was saved when I finally found a good freq late afternoon
and had a nice 140q run into EU and the Middle East.
The low bands were not so good the first day. Had more contacts on 80 the
second night as it was much better and with 20 not good there was more time to
spend on the low bands. It was frustrating to not be able to work very loud
tranceive stations but easily work the guys that were split. One would think
more people would go split, especially on 40. I gave up tuning the transceive
portion of 40 for several hours it was such a zoo. Had some noise from snow
static the 2nd night, not too bad but a pain.
It was a great pleasure to work so many QRP stations, many on several bands.
There were a couple stations that seemed to be CQing on multiple frequencies on
the same band. If that's not illegal it should be.
I slept ~1.5hrs the first night and ~4.5hrs the second - a couple more than
planned but was still on the air before sunrise. Had hoped to try SO2R this
spring but managed to blow up my 765 while trying to fix it. :) I don't know
how much longer conditions will hold up, but it was quite a treat to have
excellent conditions for all 4 weekends of the CQWW and ARRL DX in this sunspot
peak year.
Congrats to all the great scores out there and thanks for all the contacts!
