Comments:

 

Another great contest has ended! Conditions were disturbed making it
difficult on 20 meters and impossible on 160 meters. 75 meters and 40 meters
also suffered. On the flip side 10 meters opened to Europe on Sunday (what a
surprise!) and 15 meters was wall to wall DX. Hopefully next year 10/15/20
will be packed. 

 

Highlights:

 

Caught Antarctica on 20 meters Saturday night 

Deep Asians over the pole on 20 meters Saturday night 

Europeans (EA, CT, F) and Africans (5N, 6W) on 10 meters!

10 meters open for hours!

15 meters better than 20 meters last year!

 

Low Points:

20 meters was noisy and crowded but not enough DX!

No 160 meters.

40 meters is always tough in SSB contests.

As always stations head to the highest band open leaving the others vacant!

 

Next year a new tower and antennas plus SO2R!
