Comments:
This was always going to be a casual single band effort, but it ended up MUCH
worse than first anticipated.
Fri-no activity (too late for 15m prop)
Sat-Got on Sat morning just as band was opening to EU. Once I was spotted
(apparently) had the best SSB hour in a contest in like forever. I swear to you
I think I saw the rate meter hit 510 at one point, but when I look in N1MM+
stats, here's what it says:
ARRL DX SSB - 2022-03-05 0000Z to 2022-03-07 0000Z - 276 QSOs
VE9AA Max Rates:
2022-03-05 1547Z - 7.0 per minute (1 minute(s)), 420 per hour by
2022-03-05 1554Z - 4.9 per minute (10 minute(s)), 294 per hour by
2022-03-05 1635Z - 2.8 per minute (60 minute(s)), 169 per hour by
I made 90% of my QSO's in the first hour & change of the contest. The other
3+ hours garnered me a few more mults and a chance to play in vy slow the
Brazilian QSO party.
Sunday, the prop was pathetic. NEver even heard a DL---No DL's on Sunday ! ! !
Heck, I never heard or worked SM/LA or OH all weekend.
Anyways- enough griping from here. The AUroral ZOne descended its blanket of
nasty absorption on top of me and I at least got one hour of sheer joy before
that happened. It is what it is.
CU (all of a sudden!) in the next one !
Mike VE9AA....Single IC7410, no Telnet/cluster/packet this time + wire 4-square
