Comments:
This contest again leaves me wondering about where
everybody went. Bands were open the entire contest,
not great openings, but nobody to work. A few good runs,
but none lasted very long. I was the only station in Zone 64
on CW 100% but I spent a lot of time CQ'ing and eating cookies
waiting for somebody to call. I tuned up and down the bands
so much I had my dupe sheets memorized. I don't have the
biggest signal in the world, but when I get one guy who calls
me every ten minutes from JA or North America who's 20 over
S9, it seems other people should be hearing me too.
Are contesting CW ops disappearing or is it my imagination ?
I feel like I am all dressed up with no place to go....
The JA's are definitly MIA. Only good pileups from EU,
and I still haven't figured out how to turn a EU pileup into
a good rate..
