WPX SSB 2002
VA7RR (at VE7SZ)
20 Meter Single Op Single Band
High Power
1950 Q x 807 PFX = 3,832,443 points
36 Hours
Many thanks to Allan, VE7SZ, for a place to sit for the WPX
weekend. The antennas and equipment performed flawlessly as usual.
The contest started out nicely with 80-100 rates into EU for the
first six hours, but deteriorated rapidly once the solar disturbance
hit. It was interesting to experience no real JA opening. Normally, a
20M single band effort from VE7 will generate 300-500 JAs; worked only
about a hundred this time, and missed a lot of JA prefixes.
Thanks to all for the contacts!
73,
Gary VA7RR
