[Fourlanders] Fwd: K5QE June 2010 Score - Simply Amazing!

[whensley11 at comcast.net]

Many of you may have seen this already since I copied it from the VHF Reflector. 



Looking at 6-meters only... wow! 



I wonder how many hours they worked 6m? 

During their operating time, how many of those hours was the band open? 



This is something that I feared Sunday.  6m for us had died by noon.  You could hear there was activity, but we weren't part of it.  I wondered then about the consequences.  My fears proved to be true. 



73!

Comments: 

We had a great run on 6M, fair on 2M, and really awful on the rest of the 
bands. 
 Propagation was just poor on the other bands.  We had a nice Es opening to 
the 
NE this time on 2M.  We got a lot of grids from the Es that we normally 
don't 
get. Moon was really poor this time.  It rose before the contest started and 
was in prime time for EU just when we needed to be running the rovers and 
working tropo.  The moon was very close to the sun this time too and most 
EME 
operators in EU just were not on.  We only made 6 contacts on 2M this time 
and 
4 contacts on 432 via the moon.  This is WAY down from previous contests....
