Comments:
New personal best score for me in this contest. Conditions weren't great, but
not bad either. Thanks to the sporadic E on Sunday that kept the skip zone
short on 20 and opened 15.
Started the contest 20 minutes late. Took an hour off for dinner. Went for a
walk on Sunday afternoon and wasn't feeling well so took a long nap. Back on for
the end.
NV9L was very loud on 15m SSB Sunday morning. He commented that he had worked
some NE stations on 10 so we moved to 10 CW. He was loud. Then we moved up to
28350. Made the QSO, but he was not loud. So the MUF was somewhere in
between.
The short skip also helped me work more NE counties than ever. Missed 1 in CT,
3 in ME, 1 in MA, 1 in NH, and 6 in VT.
K2UA/M was the mobile I heard the most, but they never sent their county in the
CQ so often had to wait to see if they were in a new one.
Fun chasing DX between runs. Amazing how much stuff is on the air over the
course of a weekend.
WriteLog was doubling my SSB QSOs when it posted to the scoreboard. I know that
had K1ZZ scratching his head over where I was finding all the extra QSOs!
Sure a lot of activity in the 7QP. Thanks to all that called in.
