Comments:
Despite missing 14 of the first 15 hours of the contest (and any first day
opening on 10 to Europe) I managed to squeeze out my best score ever for this
contest.
This was 100% S&P (as usual for me) - but I did stumble on some good DX,
working lonely ops in SU and T31 for two new countries. A new dipole on
15 meters aimed at Europe played much better than my vertical, so 15 churned out
the most Q's.
10 meters came alive late on Sunday to Europe - though I worked 10 fewer
multipliers from EU than last year...but made up those in other areas.
I want to specifically thank ZL2AL for working stations by call districts late
in the contest on Sunday - there is no other way I could have gotten thru such a
Pacific Pileup to get that mult in my log. Many thanks for doing that.
Almost 9% of my Q's were with Italian stations - I's gave me the most Q's on 40,
20 and 15. LU and PY headed things up on 10.
Along with more antenna work, the next step is to figure out how to use voice
.wav files for future phone contests.
Thanks for all the contacts!
