Comments:
RAC-WINTER is one of my favorite contests. I'm well positioned geographically
here in Texas to aim north and spew forth the RF.
The most gratifying QSO was being called by VY0AW on 20m for the rare NU mult.
Thanks to Larry I swept al 13 mults on 20m. His QRZ.com page is really cool and
worth a look.
PE was pretty rare, I thought I was going to get skunked there until VY2GF
called me on 20m Saturday morning around 1445Z. I successfully moved him to
15m and then 10m. He was the only PE station I heard the whole contest and was
pleased to have him call me on 40m as well with a little over an hour left in
the contest.
VE8NSD provided 20/15/10. He called into my run on 20m less than 20 minutes
after the contest started. About 18 hours later he called into my 15m run and I
successfully moved him to 10m where he was quite copy-able.
VY1XY provided the rare YT mult on 20m in the first hour and I managed to break
the pile on VY1CO on 15m around 1900Z.
With the exception of a QSO with VO1OK who called in on 40m in the closing
minutes of the contest, all the NL QSOs came from VO1KVT who I worked on 40,20,
15, 10 in that order, each time tracking him down although when I worked Ken on
15 he did give me a good estimate of when and on what freq he would eventually
occupy on 10m.
Conditions Friday night seemed odd. There was a time down here in Texas after
sundown where 20m had died, 80m had no decent propagation and 40m was long, weak
and acting like an RF sponge. Fortunately it got better later.
Unlike last year I didn't work a single VE on 160m and indeed only had one QSO
there, with neighboring Arkansas.
