Hi all,
Only a few hours of "playing" in this contest, but even so, I made my best
score yet in this contest.
It was good to see so much participation from the UA stations, with some
rare Oblasts about.
Spent a couple of hours in the morning, and conditions seemed quite good,
but I was hearing G's on 20m as well as JA's! After going shopping and doing
other household chores, I boooked a couple more hours in the shack, but what
happened to the bands? 20m just faded away until there was almost nothing
around. I could only hear a few of the big-guns, and they weren't hearing
me.
I tried 40m, but there weren't too many stations about, although I picked up
a few mults.
After tea, I was hoping for a better session on the lower bands, and 40m was
OK, but 80m was very noisy, and the QSO count reveals this. Each and every
contact on 80m was hard work.
I was very pleased to work UA0YAY on 40m, as this is Zone 23. Also very
pleasing was working Gerd J3/DL7VOG for a new band-country on 20m. Thanks
Gerd!
I had a problem with UA3SAQ and RA3SI who gave RA as their Oblast, but
writelog would not accept this. I entered RV instead (which is what I think
WL wanted anyway), and then edited the log file afterwards.
Oddly, WL did work with RA last year!
Like many others, I found that WL would not produce a Cabrillo file, but
there is a converter at the SP7DQR website if you need one.
Anyway, here is my claimed score:
A. Single OP., All band
QSOs Points DX: Oblasts
80m: 13 70 10 2
40m: 57 325 24 17
20m: 152 1020 38 29
15m: 2 20 2 0
10m: 0 0 0 0
Total: 224 1435 74 48
Total multipliers: 122
Score: 175070
Thanks to all for the fun, and my log is already on LoTW.
