Comments:
I was working from CQ zone 2, ITU zone 9. It was a big "quest" for many con
testers. I received often "zone ?" then "call ?" and again "zone ?" after
sending VE2EKA 599 9 ))) Looks like we used to trust our contest logging
software too much! And a logger always suggests zone 4 for VE2 by default! In
some cases could be nice to have an ITU zone map on a table)))
Conditions were very poor on Saturday morning. The solar K index was jumped to
3 and we got even short high latitude Aurora during morning hours. Anyway
conditions got improved afternoon. Low bands: 160-80-40 were not bad but there
were too many QRN from southern thunderstorms.
10 meters was almost closed. I heard some activity from south but it was so
difficult to get few QSO's there! Heard K1ZZ was CQ-ing there but he didn't
hear me with my almost 1 kW and 4 el!!!
Saturday morning opening on 20 and 15 meters bands was so nice! I did S&P and
was lucky to caught few new mults on 15. But it was time to stop((((
Thank you all for the Q's! Sometimes run rate was up to 250 Q/M! Sorry guys who
didn't get my respond on lower bands. The QRN there were so strong here!
