Stories:
The contest was held with the solar flux at an all-time low of
SFI 68-A0-K0, and in the New Zeakand winter, when ionisation
is at a low point. This is the first contest in 10 years,
when I have been unable to work NA on 15m.
Fortunately static was low- contacts on 80 and 40m were
good to NA, but surprisingly difficult to JA.
The contest started at local midnight, and activity was sparse,
so I took a rest period at 0200z.
Started again at 2000z, too late for 40m, so struggled along on 20m.
At 0000z the contest was half over with only 51 entries in the log.
QSO run rate for the next 12 hours:
Hour 80 40 20 Total Cumul
01z 3 3 54
02 8 8 62
03 42 42 104
04 111 111 215

06 96 96 421

08 21 21 494
09 14 21 35 529
10 27 27 556
11 6 9 15 571
12 15 15 586
20m came alive between 0230z and 0700z with a strong peak
to NA. For the rest of the contest it was a struggle
to reach double figures each hour. The usual JA runs
did not happen, and there were no good openings to EU.
So thanks to the W and VE stations who made it worthwhile,
and glad to give out zone 60 to those who needed it.
Pleased to work 20 HQ stations- Highlights were working
both W1AW/7 and NU1AW (operating from K1ZZ) on the
80, 40 and 20m bands.
Regards,
Martin ZL1ANJ
