I decided to try another 15m entry though I knew going into the weekend that
it would be another endurance test.
My score was very similar to my cw entry, but conditions seemed worse.
After the contest I was surprised that I had a many EU q's as I did. Though
73 is not many I would have guessed about half that. Mainly southern EU.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it up in Japan as I worked a grand total
of 1 JA qso. I felt fortunate to get that as he was worked at 1500z beaming
towards South America.
One surprise was the large number of African stations. It was nice getting
called by 9X, 5H (x2), 9L (x2), A2, V5, 9G, 5X, 5T, 7Q, 9Q, 9J, ZD7 (x2),
TU, 7X, TL and a few others. I also worked both the S92's.
Out in the Pacific I was dissapointed, but managed, among a few others, KH8,
VK9N and C21. The C21 was the product of the endless CQ's that some were
talking about. However, unless you were prepared to listen to lots of
unanswered CQ's you weren't going to have much luck.
The rates were very similar to the code weekend. I maxed out at 35 in the
15z hour of Saturday. My entire Sunday was 91 q's before dupes. That was
in 11 hours.
I was looking forward to the WPX contests, but w/SSB on Easter and CW on my
sister-in-laws HS graduation both of those are looking like non-events.
