Comments:

Notice several major differences between the CW and SSB Contests.

On 10 meters, CW contest I had 19 Q's into Caribbean with antenna aim at

90 degrees. On SSB only 2 Q's into the Caribbean area. The beam heading

was 170 degrees - which is the direct I use when the band is dead towards

the East.

On 40 meters, CW had 87 Q's to Eu, and on SSB 30 Q's to Eu.

On 20 meters, CW had 144 Q's to Eu, and on SSB 175 Q's to Eu.

On 15 meters, CW had 97 Q's to Eu, and on SSB 35. Eu was difficult

on the SSB weekend.

-------------------------------------------　

Watching the clusters - many more errors were made on SSB. It looked 

like about 20% of the calls were wrong. One would think that CW

would produce more errors.

Finally reach a Goal I've been after, to work 100 countries on one band.

Made 102 countries on 20 meters.

Also worked 118 countries total.

Rig: IC-7800, Acom 2000A amp, SteppIR 4 element at 40 feet with 40

meter dipole.

See you in the WPX contest
