Comments:
Very strange propagation weekend! Lots of good unexpected openings and lots
of expected openings that never happened.
Great low-band openings the first night which all but disappeared the second.
Great JA LP on 40 at 2200z on Saturday but couldn't work them.
Felt like I was swimming uphill in the last 6 hours with lots of "brain fade"
and wasted time. Definitely DX'ed too much but hard to resist with all the
interesting active Dxpeditions.
Highlights:
40 & 80 GREAT the first night
Broke 100 mults on 80 for the first time and 722 mults Unassisted!
15 Meters "magic" once again!
Lowlights:
More and more incredibly unruly DX pileups
Even LESS ID'ing by DX stations and NOT announcing QSX operations
10 Meters going away! ;(
20 Meters minimally useful after dark - Sunspot minima here we come!
AURORA!
It is becoming painfully obvious to me that I need a ROTATABLE 40 meter antenna.
In fact, I need to improve ALL my low-band antennas as the highbands go away.
Congrats to N9RV, K5ZD, N2NT, K4JA and others for great scores. Look at that
K4JA 40 meter number - WOW!
Thanks for all the qso's and the qsy's!
