Comments:
Thank you for the contacts! I was glad to work you and
support the contest. From San Francisco, I operated the
station in Palmas, Puerto Rico on RemoteHamRadio.com
I skipped the evening start of the contest, since I had not
seen 10m propagation from Puerto Rico after 20Z or so. I made
my best guess and got on at Sunrise plus 3 hrs (14z), and on
my first diddle was called by Don AA5AU. I worked another
dozen, then tried CQing to Europe and checking European spots,
but no luck. Best I could do was EA8 and ZS6. I took an hour
off to let USA propagation build, but when I came back the
10m band had closed. For the rest of the day I only heard
and worked a weak handful of stations. Not helped by the flare
at 1755z. Well, that's 10m...
I also had some noise problems making copy difficult. I had a
tough time with the close-in stations FG and FS.
See you next year!
