Comments:
Always a fun contest and a great test of the station in advance of the Fall
contest season.
I spent the first two hours of the contest working on the log submission page at
cqwwrtty.com. Should have done it weeks earlier, but didn't get to it.
Thought the bands were ok the first night. Band was very slow to open in the
morning. The VK signals on 40M after sunrise were amazingly good.
20m was a bit slow, but once opened it produced a nice rate. Didn't have many
opportunities this weekend to run on two bands since 15m never really opened.
Just a few states via some e-skip and then a few Eu when the band opened Sat
afternoon.
Have some back pain that keeps me from doing long stints in the chair. Would
operate a bit and then go out to enjoy a beautiful Fall day. Didn't operate
much at all on Saturday evening.
Good run on 20m again Sunday morning, but not much else. Packed it in to watch
Formula One and then some football.
WriteLog worked great as always. Used 2Tone for decoding. I was having trouble
printing some signals when I remembered I could set up a second clone decoder.
Used the Writelog built in decoder and it often copied things 2Tone could not
(and vice versa). Having a second decoder is a great tool.
The live scoreboard at https://contestonlinescore.com/ really keeps things
interesting. Fun to watch AA3B just crush the multipliers. And to race against
other stations with scores around mine.
We now know what CQ WW will look like in Covid days. There will be lots of
QSOs, but no expeditions so a low multiplier.
Even though the bands seemed OK because of the activity, I did not work a JA and
only a few Russians. Most QSOs were from southern Eu and USA.
See everyone in the next one!
