Comments:
Activity this year seemed to be down from last year, or maybe it was
propagation. The Europeans were there, but they were all weak. 4X3A was
audible here for over 3 hours, but I never heard him work another US station
other than me despite a number of callers. No DX west of here- not even a pip.
My apologies to anyone to my west that I couldn't hear- you had to be S5 to
get over the noise level on the west beverage. There were 44 DX stations
worked, all but 4 of them a struggle. FM5BH, OQ4UN, ZF2NT and G0IVZ were all
loud and audible for hours here.
DX Worked- Asia: 4X3A
Caribean/SAmer: ZF, PY2, FM
Africa: ZS, EA8
Europe: G,GM,EI,F,DL,OE,I,S5,PA,EA6,YO,UA1,UA2,HA,OM,OK,CT
First DX- OQ4UN @ 2135Z
Best DX- ZS6UT, 26 pts, next best 4X3A 18 pts
Station: IC765, Military Surplus Amp (1100watts), 160M 4-square hung around a
tower for xmit, 580ft NE beverage and 290ft W beverage
Thanks for the Qs, and HNY to all!
