Comments:
With K1LZ going multi-single I figured that the K1 prefix would be pretty common
so I operated using Charlotte's callsign.
I had somewhere to go Sunday afternoon and I needed to be awake so this wasn't
going to be a full effort. I shut down at 1600Z Sunday. My actual time is a
bit less than what I'm posting.
I ran the latest development version of DXLog in debug mode looking for any
problems that might crop up. I had spent most of Friday working on a for for an
SO2R problem (including when I should have taken a nap before the contest) and I
wanted to see how it performed.
20 didn't play well for me. I often couldn't get a run going and when I did a
European station would show up and call CQ on top of me which usually ended it.
40 was better and I was able to work quite a bit of 6 point Europe.
Friday evening was pretty good. Saturday was noisy and I stopped for the night
at around midnight, just before a thunderstorm came through. Sunday morning I
had a local noise which made it impossible to call CQ on 20. It went away after
a couple hours. Fortunately there was some Europe on 15 and I couldn't run much
but most of Europeans heard me when I called them.
I made QSOs on 10! I think I worked two stations on 5 bands, P40X and CN3A.
It was fun watching the K1LZ vs KC1XX battle on the live scoreboard. It looks
like the winner will be the station with the most accurate log. A great job by
both teams!
