Comments:
My 18th year in this contest. With the low SFI, my lack of motivation
toward PH contests and a busy Friday night that kept me from
operating, I had low expectations. How wrong I was! Another
Personal Best ["PB"] in the log. My best year before this was 2013,
the last time 10m was this good.
I finally fired up at 10am Saturday morning -- WOW, 10m was full
up beyond 29 MHz. All S&P, I hit a peak rate of 96. My average
rate for the contest was over 45 so I never tried to run, and in
general searched for mults.
Ten and 15 were the obvious money bands with PBs on both.
Twenty was good, with PBs on Qs and countries, but not zones.
Forty was average for me as I spent less time there than normal
with 10 & 15 staying open so late.
Eighty was way below average with little time spent. [Last year
as an experiment I entered as LP SB80 assisted -- and was
#1 in North America! A microfish in a nanopond as there was
only one other entry ...] And 160 met my usual goal thanks
to K1TTT and VE3HJ: 2 points and 4 mults.
I had one 5-bander (CN3A) and 11 4-banders - ZF1A one of them.
My initial lack of motivation turned around completely.
