Comments:
Conditions were not nearly as good from Curacao as have been reported from the
more Northern latitudes! All signals seemed weak, and the 0400Z and 0500Z hours
provided record-low rates: just 6 and 18 QSOs per hour when the rate should be
soaring, with signals from Europe and North America!
No pileups of Europeans, and only 20 Europeans worked! This is not normal from
Curacao, even during non-contest days. Four calls in Japan logged and their
signals seemed pretty typical. Only three signals heard in South America. Worked
KL7RA.
We have observed that in Topband contests when conditions are good between North
America and Europe, our score from PJ2T suffers. This was different, some sort
of propagation effect. I do hope that it does not occur again for CQWW 160 CW at
the end of January!
