Hi everybody,
After two years I had the chance to have a few QSOs in this
excellent contest. I had two targets:
1. Work ND and MT states.
2. Work a few USA & VE on 80m, so I can get some QSL cards
on this band (still missing both countries in CW).
I succeeded only in working 7 USA stations on 80m: KI1G,
AA1K, K1RM, AA3B, KY4A, K1XM and N2RM.
I intended to use the DX-cluster to find stations from
ND and MT, but the operation of our local cluster was
unreliable and I had not the chance to find any. I
still spotted as many sations as practical, especially
on 15 and 40 m.
A good opening on 15 m with New England and Mid Atlantic
states occured on Sunday afternoon, followed by a good
opening on 40 m starting at about 2100z. 10 m did not
open on Sunday. 20 m propagation was poor but I
worked a W7WA and VA7NT.
Unfortunately, because of the low power of my transmissions,
some USA stations have logged my callsign incorrectly. They
may have me as IV1XV and SV1XU although I tried as much as
possible to send them the correct callsign. I hope they discover
their mistake during post-contest log processing, so they
don't loose any points.
I would appreciate a QSL card by any and all stations
worked in the contest, especially QSOs on 80 m and
stations not worked before. QSL via the bureau is OK.
