Comments:
My third FL QSO party has come to a close. After surprisingly winning the FL SSB
category last year I was motivated to put in another solid effort. Hard to do
when the weather and other activities were very tempting. Saturday was amazing;
I ended the first day with 743 Qs and 69 multipliers, almost exclusively on 20M.
This could have been the end of my contest and I would have been happy. However,
I wanted to best last year's effort, and break the elusive 1,000 Q milestone.
Sunday morning kicked off nicely on 40, then things just kind of stayed slow and
steady through the day. By 15:00 I had surpassed my 2018 results; boy 1,000
seemed like it would arrive by 16:00. Yet, that was not to be, I did not break
the 1,000 Q mark until somewhere around 19:30. Even though Sunday's Q count was
significantly down compared to Saturday; I found the DX Qs to be spread more
evenly. The highlight of my Sunday was working two South American multipliers on
10M at 20:20 and 20:22 respectively. Then in the midst of a dismal close on 20
during the 21:00 hour I worked a good amount of EU DX; with my last six Qs being
solely from the EU. As 21:59 passed into history the EU DX was still calling,
however, after 2 days enough was enough.
Thank you all who contribute to make this event possible; this is my favorite
contest of the year, as it allows even us modest stations to be a big gun for a
day or two.
73,
Rich
