Comments:

I decided to try the 20m Single Band category this year. The WORLD HIGH SCORE
was at roughly 2.0M points and 2.200 QSOs (4L8A last year). I thought I'll give
that a try since 20m is the best band here at DR1A. It seems to have worked
out... :-)

Propagation had the most influence on the progress - both in a negative, and a
positive way. Negative impact of the GOOD propagation: not many people were on
20 meters when the contest started at 1200z, because everybody made use of the
10m and 15m propagation, of course. So I didn't have the high rates in the
beginning that I had hoped for... Positive impact of the GOOD propagation: the
band stayed open all night and produced good signals and good rates into North
America long after propagation into Russia had died. (I took 30 minutes off in
the 0300z hour for my personal maintenance, hi...) In fact my best rate hours
were AFTER the band had died into Russia... ;-) All those QSOs were worth 5
points, and added up to a good score. Quite some people told me all through the
night I was about the only station on the band doing the contest, and they just
called in to say hello and give out a number... :-)
Well, the contest evaluation software will have great fun with my log: I will
definitely have the highest number of "Unique QSOs" of all logs: I
counted 217 stations giving me 001, 90 stations giving me 002, and 63 stations
giving me 003. This sums up to 370 out of 2287 raw contacts (equals 16
percent). Go figure... ;-)

Total number of Russian QSOs = 692
European Russia (282xCW + 199xSSB = 481)
Asiatic Russia (112xCW + 88xSSB = 200)
UA2 (5xCW + 5xSSB = 10)
RI1AN (1xCW = 1)

Total number of W/VE QSOs = 873 :-)

Missed Oblasts: UA1P(NO), UA4U(MD), UA6E(KC), UA6P(CN), UA6Q(IN), UA9Z(GA),
UA0I(MG), UA0J(AM), UA0Y(TU), RI1FJ(FJ).
