Comments:
Of course, the 10M line scores are really 160M. I am pleased with this effort
with only at most the western 2/3 of OH workable on 40 and only for about 3
hours until the skip zone lengthened. I checked 20 CW at least several times and
you see the results, only the loudest OH stations on backscatter were workable.
I didn't miss much of anything on 75/80/160 that was spotted, really tried to
keep watching.
The MUF was definitely low. I have no complaints about 80 and 160 other than
activity shrank greatly after about 0130Z when I had called CQ several minutes
on a very clear 3859 KHz for several minutes with nearly no callers. A few more
spots of me would have helped; I received very few. The new 160M use was quite
popular with OH stations; this is a record total for me in a QP on 160 with 30
CW, 8 SSB Q's. I started working OH at 19Z on 80 and by 2230Z signals were very
good. I was surprised so many counties were active.
Many thanks to the rovers/mobiles K8MR, N8KR, and K8RYU; they definitely roamed
through the rare counties vs. just maximizing their score. Thanks for all of the
answers to my CQ's except the guys not in OH. Despite my best efforts to make it
clear I was in WV, quite a few assumed with an 8-
land call, they just had to work me. It was nice not to have the KSQP conflict
this year. I gave it my best, can't make up for the 100 plus Q's the guys in FL
made on 20.
73, Jeff
