Comments:

This was one of the more frustrating contests for me. My goal was to reach
950
QSOs and some 1,000,000 points. That was nearly my result in the last WPX.
The
lower SFI value should be compensated by
- using the packet cluster,
- an increased count of 80/40-m-QSO's and
- a more suitable time table.

But on saturday afternoon my cluster node lost its link to the cluster. The
conds on the upper bands seemed to be bad. There were NO runs on 20/15/10
metres
possible. No JA-stns on 15 m, only a few US-stns on 20 m. And so on so on.
Since
the result after the first 17 operating hours was quite well (515 QSOs and
520,000 points) the whole sunday was a desaster. Only 215 QSO's in 13 hours.
I
don't want to determine the effective QSO rate! 80 m and 40 m were
overcrowded
with a lot of strong european signals. There had only some very strong
dx-stns
the ability to come over the steady S9-QRM-level. BTW KM4M was regularly
louder
on 80/40 m than the Europeans, really! Now I have to sit down and think over
what I did wrong. Because some stations located nearby like SP6EKS, OK2BXW
and
others got a significant better result than me.

See you in BARTG with better results!
