Comments:
Only had a limited time to operate on Sunday afternoon, so I decided
to go High Power for once. I figured I'd be able to run stations and
maximize my score. Starting at about 1815z, I found 20m very long
already so the rate wasn't very good. I jumped to 15m and then 20m
scanning the band for mults & Qs. around 2045z, I moved down to 40m.
Managed a good run there for about half an hour. Amazing that the band
went long by 2300z. Hunted for mults for another hour and then
finished up on 80m.
Managed to work all but 10 mults. Biggest surprise was working VY1JA
easily on 20m.
Although I wasn't on for Saturday at all, based on conditions Sunday,
this as got to be some of the worst conditions for a Phone SS in a
long, long time. I can't wait for the sunspots to return.
