Flux 190? I had to look at the propagation dashboard twice to make sure I
wasn't imaging that.


WOW!  72 countries on 10 meters.  106 countries total worked.  34 zones.  


37 states – missed SD, NE, and VT.

 

10 meters – hot both Saturday and Sunday.  Eu and Asia coming in at the same time
in the afternoons.  

 

I Have never worked DXCC on RTTY in one weekend before.

  

Warning to SteppIR users with 80 meter option – Running on RTTY at 1 KW, something
burned out.  Suggest keeping power at below 1 KW on RTTY until we find out what happen.
I have used 1 KW RTTY on the higher bands with no problems.  Higher bands still working
with no problems.

 

To Bill, N6MXU – with much thanks for the use of his station during this contest.


Rig: IC-7800, AL-1500 amp, SteppIR monster at 90 feet.

 

Looking forward to CQ WW SSB at the end of the month.
