Comments:
What a roller-coaster of a contest! Worse than horrid conditions much of the
time. Then, bands would open, sometimes brilliantly, and produce tremendous
results.
Only W4AAW operated from the shack. Of the 1,979 contacts made, 1,523 of them
(77%)
were made by remote operators in the following locations:
MM0LID Scotland
WS7I Washington State
AA5AU Louisiana
ND3D Maryland
W6IHG Virginia
N1MGO Massachusetts
K4XD North Carolina
W4TMO North Carolina
The Internet connection was solid for the whole 48 hours.
Don-AA5AU operated several hours as SO2R from Louisiana.
Hats off for Scott-MM0LID who made a whopping 678 QSOs by himself, which is 34%
of the total Qs. Pretty astounding!
(The record for MOMT operation in JARTS from North America was set by NK7U with
1,295,604 with 1,638 Qs. We achieved the claimed score and QSO totals shown in
the boxes above and hope we may have set a new record score in this category.)
The whole team wishes to thank all those we contacted for their patience. Copy
at both ends was, at times, extremely difficult.
Thanks to the contest sponsors for this wonderful mainstay in RadioSport.
We look forward to working you in all the major RTTY, SSB and CW contests.
