Well, I guess we will all have to get used to losing the spots, especially those
of us running QRP on small city lots.
I never got into Europe on 10 meters, and only got a one hour opening on 15
meters on Saturday and on Sunday. That really cuts into the mults and Qs!
There was very little activity in Oceania and Asia (outside of Japan)to offset
the loss of Europe.
40 meters yielded 30 countries to my low trapped dipole, thanks to all the
activity in the Carribean, and a couple of rare Qs in Europe (CS6V and OH0R).
I was never able to make a Q on 80 (or 160). I really missed KL7Y. I don't
know how he did it, but he always heard my QRP 80 meter signal, usually on the
first couple calls! And there were no near-by XE stations.
I was able to work D4B and ZD8Z on four bands, as well as many Carribean
stations. I also worked several fellow QRP stations, including FY5KE on 40, 20,
and 15.
Well, two more weeks and we do it all over again!
