Hi guys,
The expectations for this contest were low, I knew that the sunspots aren't
that numerous. Normally I should have done SOAB low or 80m QRP but with the low
propagation in mind and the fact that I have changed my job, my participation
would be low. The plan was to play a bit on 20m, 15m and may be for a last time
on 10m.
I was qrv on Saturday around 5 utc on 80m, rates were really low. The only nice
qso was WC5T who was really strong (stronger on 80m then on 20m). After that I
went to 20m, had some small pile-ups. I worked D41CV, some JA's, BA, ..., but
not that many UA and UT's as I hoped. 10m was completely death. Due to this 20m
was really crowded in the afternoon, impossible to find a clear spot. I was
getting frustrated and around 16 utc I quit, it was enough.
On Sunday I was qrv around 6 utc, 80m was already death, not a good sign. I had
no pile-ups, despite some spots, on 20m and 15m. No special qso's... I made 4
qso's on 10m, 3 9K2 stations in a few minutes and D41CV, so we lost indeed 10m,
so pitty! The fun was gone, had no interest to wait for the openings to the US,
I wasn't sure that there would be one so I quit totaly around 13 utc!
350 qso's is very poor, less then during my qrp period some years ago. I'm a
bit affraid for the next years...
Anyway tnx for all the qso's!
73,
Pieter ON3DI
