Comments:
This conditions this weekend were down considerably from
those last year. Ten closed 2.5 hours earlier and opened
an hour later both days than last year. Those of the
low power persuation, whose signals flirt with the noise
level, are going to find it hard to keep up the interest
when the days of acting like a big gun (running DX) are
a distant memory.
The declining conditions caused my score to go up this year.
Since I was unable to get any runs going, I had no choice
but to S&P. As a result, I had 54 more band countries and
20 more band zones using the same station and the same
amount of operating time. As a result, my score is up
almost exactly 10 percent, even with fewer contacts.
Sunday was better than Saturday, but still not as good
as last year in terms of 10 meters being a great place
for a midwestern low power guy to flex his muscles. Activity
did not extend as high up the band this year.
