Comments:
What a fantastic weekend! CONDX on all bands (except 160m) were excellent. I
made more QSOs than in 2015 with PA (that time assisted, SO1R) when CONDX were
also great. The strange thing was the 20m - after the first day I ended up with
only 80 QSOs in the log. West coast stations were S9+20, but beacons like K3LR
were S2. Things improved on Sunday evening, but I still got a very poor result
on 20m even from a multiplier perspective. The last 3 hours of the contest were
slow and very tiring, which I explain by the lack of new stations :-)
More and more stations unfortunately believe that everyone uses assistance and
identify themselves very rarely. This is very frustrating for most searchers.
The biggest extreme of selfishness for me was K3ZA, who only gave a CALL after 3
minutes after I started listening to him. I consider this behavior to be a very
bad trend in modern contesting.
Thank you all for calling me or answering my call!
73! Martin, OL5Y
