Comments:
One of the things I keep my eye constantly on in this contest is the mult sheet
- particularly the Call Areas Section. Those are the 'easy' ones and really do
pay big dividends towards the end. DX was fair on Saturday but really poor on
Sunday.
The activity slows down a lot I think on Sunday mainly because of the
format/class choices in that they offer 6hour classes (3 of them) so that
regionally I guess you can focus just on open times a band in your area. So for
those that choose to go Full Monty, slugging it out for the full 30 hours, it
really becomes a job on the second day.
I could see 1M points just over the horizon on late Sunday but there were times
when changing bands etc. just could not produce any action. (Primarily a CQer at
that point as a band sweep would result in no new stations that I had not
already worked. I was hoping to do a 1K plus QSO total but that requires a
rate that just wasn't there here.
Of the 40 JA mults (40m-10m) I only missed 6 & of the 50 USA mults
(80m-10m) I missed 5. 80m was very noisy and thus not too pleasant to dwell
on.
The DXCCs count was 52 with most of the activity coming from EU/JA outside of
the USA. One of the Call Area Mult counters is from VK and I heard not ONE of
them - this is like the 3rd year in a row - perhaps BARTG should think about
replacing them with someone else - ZL perhaps?
Lost only a couple of 'usable' hours with a Granddaughter's T-Ball
"game" attendance but the sunshine and laughter were good for the
soul.
WN6K, Paul
