Remarks (Biggest thrill in contest, funniest story, comments, etc.):
Limited time to operate, and had to limit my op time so I don't get yelled
at for doing ARRL CW next weekend, so played single band 10. For
a solar flux of
195, condx weren't as good as I expected. Decent EU opening (best
hour was 80 at
1400Z on Saturday) though opened later than expected. No
stateside opening,
except for a few 6s. No JA/Asia either evening, though I heard the
South Americans having a field day with JAs (reminds me of
listening to K5DJ on 40 with JAs).
Speaking of South America - the point distribution seems out of
whack for 10. The
SAs get 3 pts for each S9+ W/VE, and I get 1 point for each barely
audible,
backscatter W/VE I work. Doesn't seem fair, does it? In any case,
congrats to
XQ8ABF for a great effort (heard him over 800 Qs).
As usual, Writelog performed flawlessly. Only beef is this summary
sheet is
formatted in RTF, and when convert to ASCII, it doesn't look quite
right.
Club Competition: is there one? If so, Frankford Radio Club
This is to certify that in this contest I have operated my transmitter
within the limitations of my license and hae observed fully the rules
and regulations of the contest.
