Comments:
Another spectacular showing for 6M! I was up a couple hundred contacts from
last year, but down 15 grids. That's the result of long openings to the
Northeast US, with tons of contacts in a small number of grids. True the band
was open everywhere at some time, but I didn't have the lengthy openings to the
South and West to fill in as many grids as last year. Early Sunday evening was
incredible, with consecutive contacts to all corners of the US and Canada.
My contact total was hurt by spending too much time on CW, but it's just too
much fun to have a pileup of serious CW contesters on 6M! It seems great
running them at 80-90 per hour, but then I go back to SSB where they come
150-200 per....
No DX for me on 6. I did catch the Packrats W3CCX on 2M and heard a couple
more Es, but they wouldn't come back. We were a little too far east for that
opening.
I kept looking for the rovers on Saturday, but only really found Mel & Carol.
Thanks to them for much-needed Q's & grids! I did find W0ZQ at his stops,
finally caught up with WA0VPJ and KC0IYT later Sunday, and got Bruce in a few
grids. Without the rovers, there was not much left on the bands above 6m.
Conditions did seem good on 902 & 1296; I heard everyone I was able to try
with.
144 was down a bit from last year, 222 & 432 about the same, 902 & 1296 up
nicely. Overall, up about 55k. Great fun, but I look forward to working more
stations around the region in August and September!
73,
Paul W0UC
