Comments:
Due to Easter weekend and the family being re-united for a few days it was only
a semi-serious effort. The contest was very differt to last year were I made
over 1300 Q's on 10m alone. I had the feeling my reach on 10/15m was limited to
a 10-12 thousand km radius. Japan and west coast NA was all I could get to.
Luckily that already allows for many QSO's. Only a few weak and fading signals
on 10m on day one. About 4-5 hours before the contest ends 10m finally opened
to NA/SA, still with a lot of QSB. I lost a few stations that went down into
the noise again before we confirmed numbers. Sorry guys that I had a to give up
a few times. I could never get a real run going into EU on any band which is
reflected in the bad multiplier count. 15m never really opened to EU and 40/20m
was so crowded that it was impossible for me to hold a frequency with my 500 W.
The best really is when stations answer your CQ first to then start calling on
top of you...
Thank you all for the QSO's
