Multi-op, low power score for N5FG:
Band QSO
-----------
160SSB 0 No antenna, and why bother anyway
80SSB 121 Nice conditions...but 40 never went long
40SSB 435 Much MUCH better than CW weekend
20SSB 172 Not as productive as usual on Sunday
15SSB 118 Consistent: lots of W6/W7, and nothing but
10SSB 0 We tried...not a peep outta anywhere
-----------
Total 846 (x 2) x 78 == 131,976
Ops: N5FG, KR4QQ, WQ5L
Commentary:
N5FG and KR4QQ did a bang-up job working mults...they worked all but
AK, PR, and SK by the time my graveyard shift started. I didn't find any.
They completed the sweep Sunday AM while I slept.
Participation seemed very high...I was amazed to have no lack of callers
whatsoever even at 0900 and 1000 utc, and 73 Qs in the very last hour.
40 meters would not quit, with virtually no skip zone all night.
20 was weird on Sunday though, going long way before sunset.
What a difference two weeks makes.
We worked 7 ND, 6 NE, 6 VT, 6 ME. Try that on CW. DE and SC were
rare with one each though. MS must have been rare judging by the
number of frantic "Mississippi up two UP TWO!" calls I got during S&P.
We worked only 19 QRP stations, less than 1/5 of my total on
CW weekend, 500 "A" class and 327 "B" class.
The funniest thing I heard was someone on 80 with a tape loop
repeating "busybusybusybusy" over and over.
I sure hope 10 develops a pulse in the next three weeks.
