At 0415 UTC on December 30, the solar indices were:
SFI=72 SSN=0 eSSN=-10 90 day SSN=8 K=1
I'm always amused when the effective SSN goes negative.
This was a nice diversion on a very cold night with oil furnace problems which
no one can figure out, so I have to get up in the middle of the night to reboot
it. Having this happen on a long holiday weekend in the middle of a record cold
spell is a bad break for me. It was one degree F here this New Year's Day
morning.
Back to the contest: I didn't work enough Canadians and very few RAC stations so
my score suffered, but I did work almost everyone I heard. I ran more than usual
for 47% of my QSOs, a new high for me.
It didn't occur to me until later that I could have worked some SSB too and
squeezed out a few more Qs and mults. Need to put that in my contest notes for
next year. I just don't think phone.
I don't know my time as N1MM+ said I started 4368 hours late, which is 364 days,
but gave the starting date as July 1 for the RAC Canada Day contest, so nothing
makes sense. Maybe I went though a time-space infundibulum. I no longer know
how old I am. My guess is I spent about 7.5 hours on the air, not accounting
for relativistic time dilation.
WQ5OO had an absolutely booming signal here from Louisiana. That was N8OO
incognito, but he needs a beter disguise.
Thanks for the Qs on a very bleak weekend.
