Comments:
1, In summary, this contest was a real PIA.
2, Hats off to OH9A. 9A3W and 9A8RR! Those guys really have ears and some
good stuff between them!
3, The standard of operation of IOTA operators shrunk to an unbelievably low
level. This is valid to both sides of the pileups.
4, The IOTA contest is undoubtedly a S&P competition for non-IOTA stn's. Due
to lack of interest in working a non-IOTA like me I got no real runs this
year. Just for curiosity I put an IOTA stn from the super-rare EU-029 in the
second VFO and I noticed that nearly 90% of the stations doing S&P and
pileing up on him ignored my endless CQ's 2kHz above this stn. I think the
creators of this contest thought the only role of a non-IOTA is
to provide masses for the IOTA operators' pileups.
If I ever do this contest again (what I doubt unless the rules will be
changed), I will go to a 9A holiday resort with a tribander to make the same
score on a much more enjoyable way.
4, Where are all the the JA's gone?!?!?!?
5, When I asked an IOTA on SSB to make a quick jump to CW for the mult, I
got at least half a dozen different explanations why he can't do CW at that
moment. ;-)
