Hi Guys
Further to my earlier posting about condx in the contest. Last night things
picked up briefly as darkness fell in the western USA. From 2220z until
2309z I picked up the following:
VY2ZM PE (AT LAST) 2220Z
K0TV NH
K5ZD MA
K3DI MD
W3RJ PA
K2WI NJ
N2NC NJ
VE1ZZ NS
K1ZZ CT
N8II WV 2309Z
After that USA/VE dried up. Best USA DX was into TX on Saturday morning.
0633z K5NA and at 0649z K5PTC.
Total USA/VE states worked in the whole contest was 26. DXCC Countries 54.
As a single op I did not use packet cluster and that really makes a dent in
the number of entities worked I reckon. I only heard one JA station and
didn't work him. That was JH4UYB who was 559 on the Sunday morning JA
sunrise and I didn't hear or work any of the VKs. The big "gotaway" in USA
was W9RE (IN) - heard but not worked. I operated for 21 hours in total.
