If only! Nice contest format, pity about condx. 15m has been much
improved during the preceding few days. SFI going up, A index going
down. Checked WWV when I opened up the DX Cluster this morning and guess
what, minor storm A index up to 15. True to form, very little northern
hemisphere. No W/VE, Carib, VK, ZL, UA9, OH etc. Slightly compensated by
some strong Es into the rest of Europe. Amazing amount of newer DLs. A
good opening to South America on 15m late afternoon and also on 10m in
the last hour. A high proportion (26) of Qs were non contest, ie logged
as serial number 0. Had fun clicking on spots to bring them in to 2nd
VFO window so I could check them out, although I suspect I might have
lost 4 QSOs due to me being more of a radio op than a computer op! Put
the Cabrillo file into Excel to give the following analysis :
Band Q M Best Mult
10CW 9 8 C5, VQ9
10SB 40 11 LU, PY
15CW 37 22 4L, 9M, C5, LU, VP8, VQ9, YI, ZC
15SB 81 33 4X, 7Q, A4, C5, CE6, D4, ET, LU, OD, PY,
UN, VP8, VU, YB, YI, ZS4
Total 167 74 Score 37,074
(I assume the rules meant multipliers are per band/mode)
FT1kMP, Acom 1000, A4S at 15m, N1MM with DX Cluster, therefore
Multimode, Multi-op entry.
