Opened up on 15M. Wow what a wasteland that band was.
I like 15M for some good mults to start but not this
time. 20 was very strange from here. It was if the
band was shrinking short and then it would go long and
then short. I noticed this when I was running and had
what I thought was a clear freq and then all of a
sudden I was not alone. I saw this also while S&Ping
and seeing 2 to 3 stations on top of one another. I
can only assume this is what happened to them as well
because you really do not see that kind of freq fight
in the RTTY contest otherwise. 40 was a mad house.
Lots of stations to work and lots of noise to keep me
from it. 80...well I have an 80 meter "antenna" but at
35' it does not do very well...oh well what can I do
on a small city lot. Overall it was fun and I look
forward to the next NAQP RTTY in February.
