Soapbox : First sweep from home QTH with modest power and antennas.
About 15 hours chair time; not easy pickings. Some comments on sections:
NT: VE8EV first QSO on 10M, after failing to break pileups on several W6's
MB: All over the place; the only section I missed last year
NNY: Quite a few active this year
PR: Hanging out on 15 (1634 Sunday)
AR: One of the holdouts; worked right after QSY to 20 at 1745 Sunday
ONN: Tail-ended VE3RX to move him up 4 (not his freq.)
QC: Ditto for VE2GSO. Worked him on 10 (surprisingly short skip).
NL: Couldn't break VO1KVT's pileup on 10, even when he called by numbers.
Worked him after a couple of calls later (2118 Sunday) on 15.
PAC: Found NH6Y where I expected (10) at 2250 Sunday.
KY: Worked KM4RO on 75, 20 minutes before the end. Never could get
KD4SN (who seemed to be 100% S&P) by tail-ending and requesting QSY.
All told, a satisfying adventure. Almost all S&P. Disconnected the
antennas during our storm but that was over in a couple of hours.
Hope there are no busted sections due to my bad ears or fat logging fingers.
