Comments:
Great start, but just ran out of new people to talk to. Wish I had noticed
that there was going to be a World Series game 7 on Sunday night so I could
have saved more off time. The bands were empty once the game started!
We have to thank the QRP guys for saving SS CW. They make the contest go.
When you see how great some of the QRP signals are, maybe we should just
eliminate the high power category?!
Overall operating quality was excellent. Most guys seemed to know what PR? or
PREC? meant. No real frequency fights and with so many bands open, it was
always easy to find a place to CQ.
Surprising to see 40m completely dead by 10AM Sunday. Normally it rocks all
day. But 20m sounded like 40 with loud stations from only 200 miles away.
This was my 25th consecutive SS CW with more than 1000 QSOs. Still my favorite
contest!
