Comments:
Operating remote from Japan where this is a daytime event. I didn't have high
expectations but after a 92-QSO first hour I decided to spend a little time
operating, although the rate plummeted after that first hour. I turned on the
repeat function and sat around 1812 and called CQ for several hours while
working on my 2015 taxes. At my dinner time, I took a break and then got back
on for a few minutes at Ohio sunrise in hopes of working KH6 but by then the
QRN level had risen noticeably and I never heard a peep. KH6AT and KH6ZW were
quite loud earlier but I never caught them calling CQ.
Signals from TX and the Southwest were the strongest I have ever heard on 160,
and those from the West Coast were also quite strong. I think I worked more
CA/WA/OR stations than in any other 160 contest I have worked, with quite a few
of them actually calling me. OTOH, I never heard a single EU station, although
I didn't spend a lot of time looking.
Thanks, Tree, for creating such a fun event.
Station: K3 and a dipole at about 50' average height.
