Comments:
I went down to K4ZLE's station as I was going to do a full SO2R effort. But I
got there late and I didnt get my equipment wiggling until 18:23(I bring a
complete SO2R station with me). But nothing worked right: software wasn't
reading the radio frequency, SO2R box wasn't switching audio, SSB didnt work.
I started to make some CW QSOs in earnest around 18:50, so losing the first
hour was big. Finally got SSB working at 19:50, never got the SO2R audio
working, and quit at 0000z to return a movie before 9 local. So much for a
full effort!
As people have commented, 40m was THE band for many of us. There were a few
20m scatter QSOs on 20, but I needed to use the 80m sloper for 20m RX as the
S/N ratio was much better than the TH-11 at 70' !! 80/75m was completely void
of signals until very late, and even then they were a struggle. Last year I
had 120 80/75m QSOs, so 80m was really bad this year.
N1MM users: LP and QRP multipliers are not factored into your score. Remember
to account for that in your submissions.
