Just over half of last year's score. Down due to 10M not working very well, and
15M not providing as much access to Europe as last year's SFI=168 weekend.
Disappointing. Mults were down a lot on all bands, as were QTCs with the noisy
conditions here.
Ran SO2R as hard as I could, and it helped make up some of the shortfall, but
not nearly as much as I expected. Second-radio antenna is an all-band vertical,
and it worked very nicely for picking up mults and a few slow runs. About
one-third of all Qs were on the vertical -- and it nabbed some good DX
surprises, too.
After working a lot of 15M contacts on Saturday, for Sunday the vertical was on
15M almost all day, with the yagi on 10M early then 20M for most of the day.
Definitely need to spruce up the 80M vertical array -- have one elevated radial
missing to the East, and that's where the shortfall seemed to be this time out.
Will spend a few hours Monday in the snow checking things over.
40M was nothing like last year. Hope for better in CQWW CW in two weeks.
Thanks for the contacts. Be back for more in 2013.
