With a lot of the top US operators over at WRTC I figured this year was my
chance so I made a serious effort in the Mixed Mode category, running up
some 2319 QSOs and just over 2 million points. As such, I was not
searching out WRTC stations most of the time though when first hitting a
new band/mode I did call any WRTC stations I happened across while sweeping
through the band for IARU society mults.
A few tentative conclusions can be drawn from all of this:
1) Considering the first three place winners, there may have been an
advantage to having a callsign beginning with S58 :-)
2) I didn't study the list of WRTC calls before the contest, and I busted
one! I did e-mail my log to the WRTC Committee, so sorry if I cost the
DL6RAI/OE2VEL team points due to my copying error.
3) Obviously there was no advantage to WRTC stations in working K3ZO. The
second-place team didn't find its way into my log at all. On the other
hand, the three stations who tied for first place in number of K3ZO QSOs
made (with 4 each) finished in 16th, 20th and 40th places, respectively.
4) I agree with other observers that the signals seemed very well matched
in strength.
Summing it up, I made a total of 74 valid WRTC QSOs with 43 of the 53 WRTC
stations, broken down by band this way:
15 CW: 12 15 SSB: 15
20 CW: 16 20 SSB: 12
40 CW: 19
TOTAL CW: 47 TOTAL SSB: 27
One of the WRTC stations with an American accent asked me to QSY to 40
meter SSB but I turned them down as I was going for score myself and
considered operation on 40 meter SSB a waste of time, since mults count
only once regardless of mode. With 20 and 15 wide open to Europe all night
long there was no percentage in my making such a move.
From everything I have been able to observe from here the next WRTC host
is going to have a hard time equalling the show put on by the S5's. The
real WRTC winners were the Slovenians who showed the world how it's done!
Here following are the details of my WRTC QSOs:
