No aurora but SFU was just too low for us to compete against other
Europeans.
Band closed early without any good US runs. Good suprise was anyhow that
band was open when contest started at 00z - really nice to have zone 3, KH6,
KL7 and XE in your log before the first morning.
Sunday evening skip condx to Europe added some 150+ one pointers to my log.
Late Sunday (20z) band was also open to KH6 but not to anywhere else.
This was my first CQWW in the assisted class. It is kind of fun, but it of
course removes the skill factor from multiplier chasing especially in the
single band class. But my mult numbers are pretty decent I think. Missed
only zone 37 - saw no spots from that zone. YT1HA wrote that "thanks for
Z81D, 7Q7DFC, 5Z4EE for calling" but never heard those. Then there were GT,
GZ and SU who didn't hear me. SU of course had an impossible pileup to
break. Then there were 5 or 6 other missing mults spotted which I didn't
hear at all or barely.
73 and see you @CW leg.
