Comments:
This was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. There was a lot of
activity Friday evening after dark, up 'til 10PM local time. Saturday
morning got off to a slow start, but it got better as the morning wore on.
No significant after dark activity Saturday night, however. Too bad.
Sunday also got off to a slow start, but the band picked up nicely in
late morning, and I worked a lot of ssb stations. Then things thinned
out in the afternoon, although I hung in there to the final bell.
I really started out in a very laid-back way. Took breaks as I felt like
it, and didn't really get into the contest 'til well into Friday night when
the band seemed to stay open after dark. Probably could have had an even
better score, but I'll take this one, thank you. It's way
better than any of my previous 10m contest scores.
I was surprised to completely miss the Caribbean. I did work 10 LU,
5 PY, 5 XE, 2 CX, 1 HP, 1 ZL and 1 JA. This was more DX than I had
really expected under these conditions.
The 10m contest has always been one of my favorites, as it's one where
us "little pistols" have a fighting chance at a good score.
Thanks to all for the Qs.
73, Bob N6WG
