Observations:
I agree with Steve, N2IC this is a great contest! Good starting time, even at
5AM in the west coast, and a chance to sleep some on Sunday and get back to
work on Monday! (Just wish we had more of that CO propagation out here.)
160: Surprsingly good ... easy to work east coast, VE and KL7 mults from
here for mults.
80: Too few JAs but that's to be expected during the summer. Would have
been nice to work our typical asian mults - 9V, YC, DU, etc. but the VKs were
nice.
40: Great domestic band lots of interesting mults but nothing spectacular.
Yes, I remember, its summer propagation. The noise was awful. Glad I did this
on CW.
20: This was the band. Fair EU opening. Enjoyed the local midnight
opening to EU, and cool mults like D2, 5B4. Would have been nice to hear a few
more AF.
15: I miss you JAs. Had a 70+ hour at 11AM local but propagation was
marginal thereafter.
10: Got a local to give me a mult!
All in all, a great primer for the fall contesting season. New tower up,
rotating and begging for stacks. Back to the tower work.
Very 73
