Comments:
One of my Worst Starts ever.
I had put off replacing my broken / fallen 80M dipole until Friday afternoon,
plus installing dedicated 2M link with Locals to help coach / spot for them.
After cleaning out most of the available mults on 40M Saturday morning I *went
to bed* for a couple of hours. I just wasn't up to fighting any more Europeans
working Europeans after doing that all night on 40 and 80 Meters! I was ready
to make this a Low Band Only Effort.
After a good nap, I got back in the game but ended up missing MANY EU mults on
20 and maybe 15M (was it open?).
By 0700Z Sunday, I was too tired to have to go back to 40M so I went to bed
(again). Then I overslept Sunday Morning, starting back at 1400Z on 20M.
Getting to 15M later in the morning yielded only CT, CU, EA, and F from
Europe.
Sunday afternoon was INCREDIBLE! 40M was wide open to Europe at 2 pm CST
(2000Z). 20M was open to the Pacific with very strong JA's but Not a Trace of
the BV, BY, HL, UA0, VR2, or 9M6 stations being spotted by stations further
West.
At the End, I decided to go back to 80M where I heard 4L0A, 5H3EE, 8Q7DV, and
TA3D running Europe. I did manage to work TA3KZ plus couple of closer
multipliers. Hearing so many Asians on 80M was FUN, even if I didn't work
several of them.
Conditions at the End of the Contest were MUCH Better than the Beginning!
ALL QSO's were either S&P or from Packet Spots
with a heavy emphasis on Multipliers. NO Runs.
So it goes. I hope I will be better prepared for the next one.
I'm still working on the Log / Statistics. No way to do this in one day!
6 Banders = ZERO due to ZERO stations heard on 10 Meters!
5 Banders = 10 stations 3X CU HC8 KP2 PJ4 TO4 V4 VP2M YN

Thanks to KG4CUY for writing a program to create a Callsign Listing by Number
of Bands showing which bands were worked derived from the Cabrillo Log file.
