Comments:
It is hard to believe that we are at the bottom of a weak sun spot cycle. The
bands were very good to excellent at times. Even 10 mx had a few sigs and 20 on
Sunday morning to Europe was amazing. My ears are still ringing from all of the
very loud sigs from the multitude of European KWs and I have a slight headache
from listening so hard for those daring souls who were running 5 watts! I was
happy to work LZ9W with his 5 watts on three bands, HB2QRP and OK2FD on two and
several others on one band.
If there wasn't enough confusion with QRM, QRN, QSB and assorted lids, confusion
was aided and abetted by an overly abundant variety of cut numbers! I'm sure
they are the devil's work! 8*)
It is always fun to be DX and work your way through the pileups, but I really
need to spend more time with MorseRunner set for some serious pileups! My
ability to pull out one call from a pileup of 6 or 8 stations is not
good...especially when they are all about the same strength and on the exact
same frequency.
Thanks for the Qs!
