[SCCC] N6WS - ARRL-DX-CW

[Bill Shell]

All,

I spent 14 hours on during this contest.  That is more time spent 
contesting than I have spent in the last few years.:-)  I wasn't really 
contesting.  My target was to boost my band/country count, but I wasn't 
very successful.  I was only able to work two new band/countries.

160m propagation from the Central Coast was pretty good into zones 7, 8, 
9, 14, and the Pacific area.
80m, 40m, 20m, & 15m had real good propagation, and were also pretty 
crowded.
10m was a total bust for me.

There were some pretty massive pileups with people calling 
continuously.  I always thought you had to listen occasionally to see if 
the the DX station was coming back to you.:-)  But, obviously, I am wrong.

73, Bill
N6WS
