Comments:
A very tough contest this year from Colorado. For the first 9 hours it felt
more like Field Day - 80 % USA. No JA heard on any band from 1600Z until
0300Z. Until the late afternoon, could only work the big gun EU stations.
Just when 15 started improving to EU, I lost an hour due to thunderstorms. The
2 hours after the storm were murder to listen through - nearly bagged it, but
hung in there. Contrary to K5ZD's east coast experience, the low bands were
the noisiest and poorest I have ever heard from Colorado - for the first time
ever I worked no Pacific on 80. No significant JA opening on 15 - another
downer. The high point was the fine EU opening on 20 from 03Z-06Z.
Too bad they added the HQ mults to this contest a decade ago - turned it into
another New England Euro-feat, like every other DX contest.
Thanks for the great USA activity - much better than I remember in recent
years.
