Soapbox : A very enjoyable contest, as usual. My score was down about 5%
from last year. 2% of that is attributable to the humiliation of only
working 57 mults. No trouble with the usually rare states or provinces, but
never heard hide nor hair of an MT station! The other 3% is due, I think
primarily to less DX activity. While the high bands were open to EU much of
the time, I note that I made 212 DX contacts this year, versus 325 last year,
and that would account for just about the entire lower QSO total this year.
I had fun in the beginning of the contest CQing alternately on 10 and 15
CW, then waiting to see on which band I got an answer. For a while I was
running guys on the second radio with the vertical. Not sure if this helped the
overall score, but it was entertaining for me.
There were a number of high totals from out of staters this year. Thanks to
them and also to all the casual guys who give you QSO #1 for making this
contest a success.
