Very curious . . .
I came on 160m last night to see what NA stations I could work in the
contest . . . spent half an hour tuning around and only heard 12 stations
calling CQ, all of which I worked.
I then figured it might be worth calling CQ, as hopefully Europeans wouldn't
call me, as they only get points for working NA stations (unlike the CQ WW)
And in just over half an hour I was called by 50 stations ! (I stopped when
signals started dropping out after our sunrise)
I was just surprised that there weren't more big NA signals on 160 calling
CQ, like there is in the CQ WW - is there a reason for this?
