Best showing ever for me in this contest. Started the contest with over 700
QSO's in the first 6 hours - thank you, 15 meters ! The last 5 hours were
really slow in comparison. Congrats to K5GN and W7AT (N6TR) for their great
western USA scores.
160 - Closest thing to DX was P40HQ.
80 - OM9HQ only EU - band was quiet on NE beverage, but very poor condx to
EU. ZT6Z and EA8/OH4NL were very strong. Never heard an LU, but did work
R1AND in zone 67. Never heard JA. Pacific stations (VK, ZL, KH2) were all
worked on the sunrise grayline.
40 - Good EU condx between 0200Z-0400Z, but hard to spend much time here
when 20 is hot and runnable. JA condx were poor - could hear Zone 6
stations running inaudible JA's beginning around 08Z - band didn't open here
until nearly 10Z. What kind of amplifier was RA3AUU/0 running ?
20 - Very high absorption and poor condx from 1500Z - 0000Z. Essentially a
night time band at this part of the sunspot cycle during the summer.
15 - Great band from 1400Z - 1900Z. Open all 24 hours, but only EU big
guns at night, who were all worked earlier.
10 - TM0HQ was only EU heard (very late - around 23Z), but did work
EA8/OH4NL at 11Z (30 minutes before sunrise). Was fun working KH2/N2NL and
KH0V around 0500Z, but no JA heard anytime.
