Comments:
14 hours of contest radio makes for a happy
camper. Saturday commitments wiped
out a full effort so I was quite casual
and went to bed at midnight. I am still
baffled by the summer/seasonal
variations for propagation. I started on 15
meters and S&P'd the Europe
stations and when I went to 20 meters there was
no DX. So ran some 1 &
3 pointers stateside. 10 meters produced 10 mults
from the South and I
worked nothing from EU; although I heard a couple of the
HQ stations while
pointed to SA. When I turned to EU, nothing, nor did they
hear me on the
skewed path. Later 20 became active and I stayed there until I
went to 40
meters to grab some mults. Otherwise, I ran 3 pointers on 20 meters.
One of
the things I remember was working 6Y3M & 9Y4HQ. My location is
too
close and I have missed them in several contests as their signals seem
to pass
me by. Heard no Asia but did get KH, VK and ZL.
Even
though this seems like cw contest, I did mange to work 39 of the
WTRC
stations. And a nifty grab at the end of the contest was UA0XAK
calling me with
the last mult of the contest. Lastly, I tried running EU at
6:15 am Sunday and
was surprised that several came back. I've never worked
Europe that early on 20
meters.
Thanks to the contest
sponsors, those fantastic WRTC ops and everyone for the
QSO's.
