Comments:
I was very skeptical about the success of 2020 edition of YODXHF contest due to
several reasons:
- Lack of propagation on 15/10m and noisy bands on Saturday afternoon/evening.
- The impact of clash with CQ-WW-DIGI, leading to absence of many calls that
chose the digital contest.
The first fear was compensated by Sunday revival of 15/10 m bands, already with
good pile-up at 09:00 local time and steady propagation until the end of the
contest.
The second factor mentioned above was confirmed, but it is not much to do about
it.
It is hard to find one weekend without overlapping contests. This time I counted
more than 30 calls (EU and USA) that joined YODXHF in the previous years, but
were attracted by WW-DIGI this year.
Overall and I am happy with the result (1500 QSO in 20 hrs). The addition of
160m band did not bring any value, but stress and dispersion of activity. Such
decision makes sense in big contests with massive participation. I would suggest
the removal of 160m band from future rules.
Congrats to LZ5R, YL7X, UA5C, YR0S, YQ6A, RG9A, HG6O, HG8A, YT5A and many
others, for their serious approach.
Thank you for calling/answering me and see you in next contests.
73, Alex YO9HP
