I hooked up the computer and got the real numbers...
K9AY -- SOHP @W4WA
1244 x (76 + 18) = 241,486
Thanks for all the SECC QSOs plus another 23 GA stations! Anyone who
missed GA, AL or SC wasn't on the air.
DX mults (wish there were about 20 more) -- VP5, GM, XE, ZF, PY0, PY,
HI, DL, ON, YV, DU, CO, I, OK, OM, HA, UA, VK. Sections missed were
KP2, KP4, YT, NL.
I heard lots of barely audible signals "whooshing" in the noise --
That's when those serious RX arrays like W8JI's really pay off. Also
good for hearing the DX under the US guys who are calling. Ron's big
vertical TX antenna is super -- I did not waste any time in pileups,
just couple extra minutes for PY0FF until I got his listening pattern.
I had fun, and that's always the bottom line!
73, Gary
K9AY
