Comments:
Just a part time effort between working. Zone 1 must not have been too rare
this year as I would CQ for long periods of time with very few answers. Maybe
everyone was on another band or something. I was trying to work 80 of the WRTC
competitors, but that just didn't happen. 15 was decent at the start, but I
had to leave about an hour later. My last hour and a bit was on 20m mostly,
and very few WRTCers were on. I used the cluster to try and get as many as
possible. It definitely helped, but I fell very short of my goal. Signals
were just not up to snuff when I was on. Many of the competitors asked me how
loud they were compared to the others, and S5/K1DG was by far the loudest. He
was s9 peaking 10 over at one point. The others were all hanging at s7 or so.
A few turned their antennas to see what the difference was, and still S5/K1DG
was the only one at s9 or more.
Anyway, hope everyone had fun and got Zone 1... I did my best for limited time,
no 40m, and trying to work WRTCers :)
