Comments:
Contest started slow. Rates were down from last years. I felt there were a lot
of Russian stations missing (KO and LO squares). Just worked two UA9s not very
far away. No UA0. Managed JA3YBK at 2012z and JH4UYB at 2103z. Nice surprise
was VK6DXI (OF88) calling in at 2109z for 29 points and the ODX of 14034 km.
JH2FXK called in at 2128z, and that was all about East.
First W/VE was W1WEF at 2136z. Worked KV4FZ at 0144z and NP2X at 0154z. At
0300z HD2RAE (EI98) called in for 21 points and an avg distance of 10002 km.
FM5CD at 0324z was easy, but I never managed to get CE1/K7CA's attention
although I had parked him in the memory and tried every now and then.
The only Africa QSO was EA8/IK1PMR. We don't have a Beverage down there, and
the Dipole was broken, which I just found out 10 minutes before the contest
(the coax was torn off from the feedpoint...)
After all, 177 W/VE stations went in the log with N5UL (DM82) and 8461 km (17
points) the farthest West, followed from 16 pointers N4OGW, WD5R, N4IS, W5LE
and KB5DJX. Another 25 stations were >7000km and we exchanged 15 points :-)
The QSO total is down about 30 from last year, but the raw score is about 200
points higher.
HNY to all!
