Comments:
I had commitments to take the dog to the veterinarian and to attend a
fund raiser dinner in the evening, so activity was limited. Propagation
was very limited on 15M and band didn't open until around 14Z, but 20 was
great throughout the morning with perhaps the best condx around 16Z when
I had to quit to take the dog. In about 3 hours 45 minutes, I worked
over 260 stations with 240 on 20M, incredible activity! By 21Z, 1 hour
45 minutes before sunset, 40 was open well enough to work the big guns and
by 22Z everyone was workable, but activity was poor and I received very
few answers to CQ's, quit at 2235Z for the dinner. I returned after 03Z
to find 80M open well, but only managed a few QSO's; I tried CQ's with
no luck. I almost got out of bed at 06Z, but just a bit too weary to try.
Nothing was heard on 160 except a few Eu and YW0DX for a new one, no PACC
activity.
This is more a phenomenon than a contest, amazing to work over 250
unique calls from a country probably smaller than my native West Virginia.
Ham radio is alive and well in the Netherlands! I am guessing that the
PD0 prefix calls are new to HF, I worked many of them. Many thanks for
the calls, I spent almost all of the first 3.75 hours CQ'ing.
