Comments:
My 37th consecutive year with more than 1000 QSOs in SS CW. I do love this
contest!
Bands were interesting Saturday evening. Skip was very short even on 20 and 15
so it was possible to work most of the country right out of the gate. Didn't
make my first contact on 40 meters until 0226z!
Had a sweep at 0328 when K2NNY called in. Next to last section was KP2M in VI.
I think I eventually worked 2 or more of everything. Its a great feeling to have
the sweep in hand and then only have to concentrate on making QSOs.
Felt like I had a good start, but the rate died around 0700z. Sunday morning
everyone seemed to go right to 20m. Did well CQing on 40m and picking off new
stations on 20m.
After about noon it got too sloooowwwwwww. I would CQ for 10 minutes without an
answer. Took a break to walk the dog. Took another break to eat dinner. When I
made my first QSO on returning, I realized it was only 26 minutes and therefore
not an offtime. Ouch.
>From that point on I would come and go as I had time. Rate never picked back up
so threw in the towel with 1 hour to go. With the 1000 QSO goal achieved, I was
happy with the result. And I had enough SO2R practice to be ready for WW CW.
Thanks to everyone who was on. There really is something special about passing
SS traffic all weekend.
