Well, the cycle is on its way back down.
>From here on the West Coast, my score depends on my ability to get into Europe
for all the Multipliers and Qs. Last year, Europe accounted for 49% of my Qs.
This year, the opening to Europe was much shorter, and consequently Europe
accounted for only 13% of my Qs. As a result, I wound up with half the QSOs as
last year, and one third the score!
I still had some thrills. I got VK6LW long path on Sat afternoon on 20 cw, and
there was a pretty fair pile to the East of me trying at the same time. I had
69 different countries, a long way toward a weekend QRP DXCC.
Spots or not, it's still a lot of fun! 73 Bill W8QZA (W6QU)
