Conditions were strange throughout the contest. I never got propagation to
western EU on 15, normally an essential requirement for winning, as it yields
high
QSO totals. This time a multiplier search and pounce technique had to be used.
On Sunday morning, we had good propagation on 10m (!) to the far east, as I
could hear illegal CB operators "singing", characteristic of asian CB-ers on
10m.
Similar thing in the afternoon hearing Brazilian CB locals, all at S9. All the
5 mults
worked on 10 had to be enticed from 15. For those interested, mults on 10 were
7Q7, 5X4, LU, PY, CX. If only more had confidence in the band!
QSL Info: via LA2TO
See you all in WPX Phone single band 15, where I hope the condx will be
different! Thanks to all who worked me.
Best 73
