CONDX Summary:
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
During a 14 hours battle of the contest I logged 57 NA on the first night
and 72 on the second night.
Making DX both nights were pretty tough. The DX window appeared to be very
narrow for those 6-7 s
tations who wanted to CQ.
I called about 75-80% of the stations and only about 20-25% answered my CQ.
Assessing the CONDX from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Hungary it was rather a one
way situation.
Even stations who were "booming" sometimes with 589 were difficult to work
with.
(May be their QRM or very narrow filter settings were the problem)
Called K4BP along with many others but he couldn't copy me. Same story with
K3EST.
The strongest station was K2GD (559-599) then VE3EJ with pretty stable
signal (559-589)
and VY2PX who was 579 almost all the way.
KC1XX, K3WW, K1TTT, W4MYA were around 559-569 and only seldom they were
stronger.
K9DX was also 559- 599 but most of the time he was weak.
On the second night around 00:30 z K3OQF was pretty strong then went down
to 569 later.
On the first night between 03:20 and 06:00 z I heard mostly W5 land and it
was easy to work them.
Some signals were 579-599. (13 W5: STX, NTX, MS, AR, OK)
First night N7DD was 339 and many EU were calling him but I didn't even try.
On Saturday morning my last QSO was at 06:10 and on Sunday condx ended at
05:10.
All in all it was very tiring but great fun. That was the initiation of my
new IC 7800 that I bought 10 days ago.
