Comments:
This is about the most I can score without "pushing it". It was a rough day at
work Friday, so I only operated about 3.3 hours the first night mostly
running
320 Q's, first hour was great! The alarm was set for 11Z, but power was
momentarily interrupted during the snowstorm and back-up battery was low, so
my bedroom clock showed 4AM as I was realizing it's not daylight at 4AM
usually, Hi! No new sections out West worked due to sunrise start. From
there,
things started improving. I was able to keep a run going most of Saturday
evening and was called by an occasional Eu from 23Z til 0030Z. I was called
by 2 OK's, 4 G's, YZ7A, and DK8GN. Condx to the West Sat night were about as
bad as they can get without a solar storm. Finally around 03Z, I started to
fill in a few of the multitude of sections needed like ID, NV, NE, ND, and
several in CA. Sunday AM im 11Z hour was very productive for Western mults;
VA7DX called in and must have spotted me as a had a mini-run of Pacific NW
stations including EWA and AB. VE5ZX called and worked a few new CA stations;
condx weren't great. T32WW was only DX heard/worked to the West. It was fun;
shoveling the very wet heavy snow Sat wasn't. Sometime, I'll take this test
seriously, but it's at a busy time of year.
