Comments:
After my effort last year in SOSB/40 HP, this year I decided to go for SOAB HP.
As usual, I checked out last yearâ??s scores and it was clear that the best
SOAB scores are all made using SO2R. This lowered my hopes and I thought I
might change strategy and go for SOAB/15 HP, but in the end, seeing the great
conditions and 10m openings just before the contest, I went back to my original
plan : SOAB HP !
I also thought it would also be a good exercise in terms of band-change
strategy, resting hours, and mult chasing, in addition to testing the
stationâ??s reliability with two new DXBeam antennas (and just for the fun of
the contest, of course:!).
80m : good propagation and a quite acceptable noise level, in particular at the
grey line.
40m : the band was its good old self, no surprisesâ?¦
20m : the most disappointing band for me, but given the great conditions on 15
& 10, Iâ??m not surprised many stations stayed on the higher bands.
15m : a real â??3-pointer reservoirâ??, mainly to the US and JA
10m : much to my surprise, this band was great, with a superb opening to North
America on Sunday afternoon.
In the end, I realize that the best places will go to SO2R stations, but for a
first effort in this new category (for me), my final score is well beyond my
expectations!
Since I didnâ??t use SO2R, I hardly didnâ??t S&P for any mults, and just ran
99% of the time.
Thanks to all who called me. Apologies to those who called but didnâ??t get
into the log ! My thanks go to DXBeam for two new 15m & 10m yagis which
arrived just a few weeks before the contest. They really performed well
through this first test.
See you in the SSB part.
