Comments:
Ridiculously poor conditions, but Sandy and I stuck it out. It certainly did not
seem indicative of SFI=87 and SSN =36!
Some eye opening stats:
Daytime QSO's = 130
Nightime QSO's = 424
Sunday daytime qso's = 24 (ouch....really poor cndx Sunday!)
Texas qso's = 134 (No wonder those big scores are coming from TX!)
USA: 1 "1", 3 "2's", 1 "3" and just a handful of 8's and 9's. (529 USA total)
DX: 3-CE, 2-CX, 8-LU, 1-PJ2, 1 VE (ONE VE?), 3-XE, 1 XF4, 6-ZL's
Screwy contest, one VE and six ZL's. All the Zl's answered my cw CQing.
Last yr, with a single mode (cw) and running Low Power, I had more q's the
first 5 hrs of the contest than we did the first 24 using kw and both modes!
I sure hope next yr is better cndx. We will be back.
Sandy and I played contest tag team, switching her ssb position and my cw
position to the only antenna we have here for 10m, a 3 el SteppIR up about 78
ft, when cndx dictated a mode move.
CW Position (K8IA op): Orion II, Alpha 91B
SSB Position (N7RQ op): TS-870S, Alpha 76PA (tnx K7WP. Acom 1000 on the way!)
Software; N1MM v7.11.4, networked
