Wow, what an interesting contest. Operated first 3 hours, took 5 off, then
operated for another hour, then one off, then 4 more. Rates were fantastic
both running and S&P. Had a real good run on 15m phone to EU in 2nd hour
of the contest. Also a 147 hour at 00Z on 40m -- mostly zone 29 stations.
That was a blast.
Worked a number of EU on 10m CW and Phone. Heard R3HQ/6 but he couldn't
hear me.
160 was amazingly good. Some static but the EU stations seemed to be
hearing MUCH better than normal. Kind of funny to have 6 EU HQ stations
and not work zone 27, 28 or 29! W1AW/7 was really loud on top band.
Probably would have done a bit better but the Yaesue FT-920 I was test
driving seemed to have some kind of receiver problem and lots of filter
blow by.
