SO1R.
First QSO at 2103Z. "Ran" mostly S EU for about an hour, then an hour of S&P
to the south on 20 & 15, then operated on and off all evening, stopping at 08Z.
Slept a full night and started again near 16Z. Found a 20M freq at 1613Z, long
after the peak of the opening. Sat there for about 6 hours, grinding it out
through the QRM for 444 QSOs.
Some interesting moments mixed in with the slow sunspot minimum condx.
- Many years ago, I recall listening to a WA4 in FL running VK/Pacific on 20
that were inaudible in CT. The tables were turned as I was that runner this
time.
- IK4VET passed along the info that I was much louder than the M/Ms for a
little while late this afternoon on 20. Enjoyed working many 10 watt M3s and
many other Western Europeans, but in the end, the Is have it.
- Two ET3s called in on 20.
- Several 10 watt VK3Fxxx (2x4 calls) called on 40.
- G4NXG/m persisted and got through on 40 at 0745Z.
- Worked more 4Xs (5) than JAs (3) on 20. Managed one JA on 15.
- Only one EU on 160. Tnx to G4BUO for moving there with me. A total
turnaround from last weekend when 51 EU were logged for CQ 160 SSB.
- Absolutely no EU logged on 15, although I was probably too late to catch any
opening.
- Still disappointed in the harassing behavior of non-contesters.
73, Dan
