Comments:
Thanks a bunch to John, N3HBX, for the use of his excellent station. No
beverages due to soybeans in the field, but bands were fairly quiet after
some
light crashing Friday night.
I dont imagine anyone broke any records this year! 10 was just dead and 15
wasnt much better. I managed to work one I and one EA on Sunday there for
double mults! Woo hoo! My score was down about 10 percent from last year
but I
was amazed it wasnt a lot worse. Q total was impressive considering...
I got caught napping Sunday morning when 20 opened at least 45 minutes
earlier
than on Saturday and I struggled to come up with a run frequency. 20
actually
came to life late on Sunday with some very loud JA's and a couple zone 19's,
but no depth - perhaps cause it was Monday morning over there! Also snagged
a
couple of VK's and ZL's long path late Sunday.
As would be expected 20 and 40 were packed with stations. 20 was
amazing...just a bottomless pit of stations even with depressed conditions
for
most of the weekend. "I got nowhere else to go!" kept playing over and over
in
my head! 40 was a slug-fest, but ended up with some halfway decent runs way
up
around 7050-7060. Also picked up a JA calling CQ well out of the window at
around 7040 Saturday AM.
73, Ty K3MM
