Comments:
The old LP USA SSB Only record was 328k.
This was a very changing contest with conditions. I had a terrible opening
hour with EU not easily workable on 20 and the US not really open either. But
as the day progressed, things got better.
On 10 and 15, I was just not strong enough with LP to run but was able to work
much of the EU heard. I tried running quite a bit on 15 with very limited
results. 20 was a reasonable running band to USA and sometimes EU. But EU SSB
activity seemed very low actually other than HQ stations. Even though the
sunrise EU opening on 20 at 05Z+ was there, I could not generate any calls from
CQs and had worked literally every station CQing. I took an hour at 1am to be
fresh for the balance and that was a really good idea.
I actually heard JA about 15 mins befire the end of the contest but the 2
stations that I heard calling could not hear me.
I felt pretty loud on 20M and 40M. My 80M west direction still needs work.
I set out to push the bar up on the LP SSB record number for this contest and
did so. There is A LOT more that can be done with that score with better
conditions.
By the way, USA SSB participation was excellent. I was over 100 an hour many
times on 20 and 40 with the beams west.
