Topband: ARRL DX Contest - Small Gun

[Thomas Hoyer]

Typically I deal with S7+ noise at my station and have been stuck at 90 countries for a few years now.
This weekend I found the band to be a lot less noisy then usual (S3 to S5) and I was able to add three new countries. I heard two other new ones HQ and KL7, but I suppose they couldn't hear me as I was not able to get a QSO with either.
I probably made over 30 DX contacts including two in Hawaii. This is very atypical for me and I was excited to see the band in such good shape. Alas, I was not able to be on at the end due to some family commitments.
I'd love to be able to finish up DXCC this this year but chances of getting 7+ new ones are probably slim over the next month or so.....
Good stuff!
