Comments:
Propagation was poorer this year, at least at this location. Europe faded out a
couple of hours after sundown both days, and there were several EU and AF
countries that had good signals but just kept on CQing when I attempted to call
them. Propagation at sunrise to the far East on both mornings was non-existent
this year.
Two-thirds of my contacts were made by the "search-and-pounce" mode.
The only real success I had at running was at local sunrise Saturday morning,
and this was for an hour and 37 minutes. During that time I was called by
KH6KG/5 who was operating stateside but no matter what I did I could not get
N1MM to log it. I changed the call to "KH6KG/K5" but still it would
not take it. Instead it now said that the prefix was KH5! Later on I got a call
from KH7X/W7 and that station logged correctly. I was using N1MM's Version
1.0.7467.0 of software.
73, Sam W4PK
