Comments:
This has always been a difficult contest for me and this year was no exception.
The poor conditions coupled with my low power, low antenna station made for a
lot of time spent with a low score to show for it. I often heard WH6R, only
100 miles away, running stations that I could not even hear. Shows what power
and big antennas can do! Having only six Europeans and only a few JA stations
in the log, really held down the multipliers.
There was not much incentive in this contest to try 10 meters, but I tried for
the fun of it. Saturday, about 2200 UTC, the beacons from the Mainland US were
strong here, but I only ever heard two stations. W6CWM was strong and easily
worked, while KZ5MM was weak and never heard me. On Sunday, KA6BIM and I moved
from 15 down to 10 and eventually made contact. I heard him right away with him
running power and a big antenna, but he could only hear me during the peaks of
QSB cycles. Much of each day, I could hear and work a few stations from South
America, with PS2T being very strong much of the time.
Notwithstanding the poor conditions, I still had fun chasing like minded
friends from all over the world! Thanks for the Q's.
Aloha, Kent
