Comments:
Missed all chances to grab the W1AW bulletin on RTTY. Plumb forgot about it,
despite having the schedule handy. 100 points missed. Score includes 50 pts for
using the web form.
Fell far short of last year's 599 QSOs, mostly because 15M and 20M were not has
hot as hoped for. Sunday morning on those bands was nothing like it was last
year on Sunday.
80M was also very poor, with production down 33 from last year's already paltry
47 Qs. Vacation days coming up, and the 80M vertical array is getting a makeover
with all-new elevated radials after a few years of wear and tear diminishing its
performance.
The number of 1D zero-point contacts was down from last year's 14 percent to
just 10.4 percent. I don't mind them at all, but wish there was an agreed-upon
method for CQing D stations to indicate that class so other Ds don't
unwittingly call (such as adding a D to the FD preamble... "FDD VA7ST
VA7ST").
Thanks to all for the contacts. Was great to hear good CW participation.
Apologies to those I couldn't pull out, particularly on 15M when QSB was very
deep and long.
