Comments:
This was a lot of fun. Conditions seemed very good, with 15 and 10 meters quite
open during times I was operating. Ten meters was especially good and very
quiet. I worked lots of Japanese stations on 10 and 15 meters and was surprised
to find a couple of good openings to Europe.
I was 99.9 percent S&P but during the last five minutes of the contest, I
tried calling cq on 10 meters. The band was very quiet which made for good
hearing. After a few calls I got a response from a Hawaiian station. The
operator gave me is report in a pretty faint voice and then told me, "You
have a very good signal here this afternoon." That was good to hear. Next
I got called by a Japanese station in an even fainter voice. I had to ask for
one or two repeats before I got his call but we heard each other correctly. I
was amazed when I heard his signal report: "5-9, 005 ... Five watts."
Wow! I'm sure I was only able to hear him because the band was so quiet.
Thanks for the qsos and 73! Larry
