[SCCC] W6YA WAPC SOAB CW Contest 2020

[David Hodge]

Arnie does enjoy a bird's eye view of propagation, hi!

Jim, that is an impressive number of BYs in the log.

One of these days I need to figure out how to set up FTx with my K3.

I don’t run across all that many on FT8 these days and when I do, they often don’t copy me through their local noise. I do get more Q’s with them on that mode than on CW though.

Dennis,

There are many BY stations on FT8 on 80 Meters and up (I have yet to snag one on 160M).  It is easier to make QSOs on that mode in a noisy environment and I suspect that is why they have gravitated to that weak signal mode.  Jim might not be aware of that since he abhors FT8 😊

Jim, that's crazy! 53 Q's with BY stations in a single weekend! I bet if I

were to add all of my BY QSOs up dating back to when I was first licensed in

1972, I probably don't have 53 total! Hi hi Congrats on a FB total this

weekend!

Comments:



This little known, quickly discounted contest is one of the most challenging

of

all for me.  The QSO total is always very low, requiring tireless hunting

and digging

through the Indonesian SSB pirate QRM on 40m and finding BY stations that

are weak,

CQing underneath CQMM contesters.  Most have difficulty hearing and copying.

On 20m the opening is short and signals are also extremely weak, with few

exceptions.

During a solar peak the results are far better and the higher bands come

into play.



Since CQMM opened up to worldwide competition it has presented an additional

conflict

to WAPC.  As conditions improve, WAPC may become more interesting, since it

is a

special kind of challenge.  It is a special opportunity to work all Chinese

provinces.
