Welcome back 10M, we have missed you!
I was planning to make about 350 QSO's but crashed thru that barrier and made
518. Started on 40M Friday night and made about 60 QSO's. I got up Saturday
morning and I first turned on my SDRPlay and checked 10M, and it was wall to
wall from 28-28.15! I did all S&P and started at 28150 and started moving
down in freq. It took me about 2 hours and 100 QSO's to make it thru once, with
my 100w and a wire. I looked at 15 and 20 later in the afternoon, but I think
everyone was at the party on 10, because I couldn't get much going on those
bands. About 5:00PM local time the JA's started rolling in. Don't get a chance
to work that many JA's from Michigan but quickly worked 21, along with KH6 and
ZL. I took a break and got some more time on 40 Saturday evening.
Sunday morning I checked 10 first and again it was busy to above .100. This time
I was hitting dupes from Saturday so couldn't log as many stations. 15 and 20
were much better on Sunday. I think after everybody working each other on 10,
the started moving down to 15 then 20, there was a lot more activity on Sunday,
especially on 20. Late in the afternoon 15 and 10 were open to Pacific again.
This time I stuck mostly with 15, to have less dupes. Worked a number of JA's
that I worked Saturday on 10. Finished on 20 and then40 which was good into EU
again up until 00Z.
I worked over 500 QSO's two weekends in a row (CQWW WPX RTTY and ARRL DX CW)
It's been a long time with my little station since I had conditions where I
could do that!
Lots of fun!
