Comments:
I got much better results this year in SSB SS than in
any of the 11 times I've done it before starting in 2001.
- More QSOs: 1074 vs my previous best of 973 in 2011,
- Highest claimed score: 178.3 K vs 155.7 K in 2011.
- A sweep of 83 sections. DE was the last one found.
I got 4 distant mults on 15 m.: NT, PR, AK, and HI.
I did this with no extra BIC time: 20 hours, as usual for me.
Notably, no one band dominated: 288 to 331 QSOs respectively
on 20 thru 80 meters, and 139 Qs on 15. Conditions and activity
were good on each band in some hours. In contrast: during
the lowest sunspot years of 2008-2010 when I depended
on 80 meters, I made 468 to 572 QSOs on that band, ~ 1/2 of all.
