Comments:
This was my first serious effort as a single-op since my chemo in 2012. My
stamina has been slowly coming back but may never be what it was back in early
2011. The 10M Contest was a good choice to get my feet wet again since you
operate during the day-time (mostly) and you can usually get enough sleep at
night.
I think the conditions were pretty average. Certainly not great nor really
poor. But there were times when the band would just go away for a little while.
Saturday afternoon, the band completely died very early.
There were European openings on both mornings. There were a good number of
multipliers but the openings were brief without much QSO depth to them. But
better than no European opening.
I worked 49 states (Missed WY and DC) and 12 VE Provinces (Missing NU and NWT).
But only worked 3 XE stations. Sadly, we are not in the XE skip zone and
sometimes it is a struggle to work them.
I worked 55 DX countries, 25 EU, 12 SA, 7 NA, 5 AF, 4 OC, and 2 AS. Nice
surprises answering CQs were 4X, 5R, VP8, and FW.
Congratulations to KD4D and K1TO who turned in great scores.
73, Richard - K5NA
