Comments:
All that Sporadic E made 10 and 15 meters sound more like the January NAQP at
the sunspot maximum. Moving to the low bands brought me back down to the
reality of August. 80 and 160 were much poorer than last year, but was
surprised to work KL7RA on 80 while still daytime on his side. No local
thunderstorms, so I was able to choose my own off-times. Unfortunately, I think
I mismanaged that with OT's at 2101, 2316, 0143, and 0344Z. 20 meters never felt
right - there was either too much absorption, or all the activity was on a
different band. Lots of fun band-moves - nice to have multiple bands open at
once ! I need to work on promoting this contest in my own state - Only NM
station worked was K7IA, and missed NM on 80 and 160.
Was a little concerned that contesting-related conventions in the Pacific NW
and Central Texas would hurt activity, but didn't seem to matter ! Thanks for
everyone for the QSO's !
73,
Steve, N2IC
