[SCCC] ARRL 10 WA7BNM SO Mixed LP

[Bill Haddon]

Bruce,

Very surprised to work you from N. Cal in ARRL 10m! Thanks for the Q.

The South Am openings reported by others just did not happen in the wine
country.

Call: *N6ZFO <https://www.3830scores.com/findcall.php?call=N6ZFO>*

Class: *SO Mixed HP*
QTH: CA
Operating Time (hrs): 6
Summary:
Band QSOs Mults
CW: 169 29
SSB: 42 14
Total: *211* *43* Total Score *32,680*


Club: Redwood Empire DX Assoc

Comments:  Rate approached 100 on Fri night while making 90% of the 211 Q's
in about 2 1/2 hours.  The SA openings did not make it to Lake County. Lots
of double-hop Es on Fri evening into Western PA, OH, MI,  TN, KY, IL, IN
etc.  WY was everywhere,  CW and SSB -- worked about 6 of them.  Missed SD,
ND and NE in the 0 call area, got all in 7 except AK. VE7 and VE6 easily
worked. KA6BIM was kind enough to move to SSB for the OR mult.  He was
peaking at S-8, probably meteors.

More points this year than in the two previous ARRL 10m outings, but sadly
nothing to do with sunspots.
