Comments:
Compared to last year, more QSOs but less mults for almost exactly the same
claimed score.
Thank goodness the flares did not kill the bands completely. We had a 45
minute blackout period each day, then the bands came slowly back.
160M very poor, particularly 2nd day. However we did work two JAs - a big
thrill for us this far east.
Best-ever efforts for this station on 80, 20 and 10. 40 was very good for EU
sunrise both days - our 3L @ 120' seems particularly well-suited for this path.
Widespread use of internet spotting and SO2R has created absolute bedlam in
pileups on multipliers. With SO MANY stations calling, and with no apparent
willingness to stop and listen, many of these pileups were complete wastes of
time - it was more productive to keeping CQing.
Lots of fun, even from W8.
73,
Dave/K8CC
