A new personal best!
Conditions were amazing.
A great discussion on the club's e-mail reflector convinced me I should try
running on 10m from my small station. I tried. After about a dozen calls I
was about to give up when the flood gates opened. By the time the onslaught
slowed I had over 600,000 points. A second run took me over 1 million just 20
hours into the contest. Normally I do not see that until around 36 hours. Two
more runs brought the score to about 2 million. Search and Pounce (my normal
method) brought me the rest of the way.
Being called by a VU2 during one of my runs (and as loud as the EUs):
priceless! Breaking pileups with one call: priceless! Having beam stuck to
the south for the last two hours: not so good. Fortunately that will be a
relatively easy fix.
I now wish I had put up the 160m antenna. It probably would have added another
100K to the score.
