Comments:
Had dog duty so hours were less than last year, considering my score rumor, it
was a gang buster year!
Changed my strategy from last year a little, and it helped some. Sunday AM was
not as fast paced as hoped, but was steady.
Still find myself getting hung up in some piles that seem like I should just
zip through, others that should take longer were "easy". Man some of the
pile-ups were just gnarly. My heartfelt gratitude to anyone who can do that for
more than a couple hours. There is NO REASON for someone to endlessly keep
sending there call trying to get through. Listening seems to be a lost art for
all too many. On the other side of the pileup, I do understand the frustration
of not having a clue about the station call, not everyone is assisted. It
surprised me to hear discussions about dupes, some of the non-IDing stations
refused to work dupes and wasted time telling folks that, maybe if they sent
their call a wee bit more frequently, they wouldn't have such a conundrum.
Heard more than a few beg telling others no, they weren't a dupe. Just work 'em
and move along... Enuff bitchin'...
A few of my buddies were on the road, Gene at C6, Hal at CT8, Kyle at PJ2 all
seemed to be moving along and making hay. Hope they had a nice dinner after the
fray, maybe with seegars and brandy chasers. The 8Q7DV folks were all ears,
looking forward to seeing their numbers and comments. C5A too was great to work
from top to bottom. Thanks to all the DXpeditions for putting juicy tidbits on.
Canada was out in force, or had a great path into the country. Same goes for
Japan, the most I've heard from there in years. Heard a couple Chinese
stations, but no joy. Zone 26 was to only one I don't recall hearing. Missed
QSOs in three zones for WAZ.
Thanks for all the QSOs and see you down the log.
73,
Julius
