Comments:
A considerable improvement for me vs 2021. I was glad to see 10m open to the
south where there was plenty to work. I also enjoyed working several VK and KH6
stations Sunday afternoon on 10m. It seemed like better conditions on Friday
night on the low bands than on Saturday night. I'm glad I put in the time and
made tracks on 80m the first night.
I did not work a single station from Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine. I know the
contest sponsor disqualified them but I would have thought some would be on just
to operate and submit check logs. I didn't see any spots of them either. This
must have reduced the number of prefixes available. Last year I had 18 QSOs
from these countries.
The highlight of the contest for me was working DM9EE who was coaching and
working in tandem with DN5HR which was a Ukranian YL (Katia) at the mic. Word
must have spread quickly about them because they generated a huge pileup. I had
to leave for a while and come back to get through. It was very inspiring to see
amateur radio put to use in this way during such difficult times.
