Comments:
This was a WEIRD Contest from NORTH Alabama. Most of the time I felt like I
couldnâ??t get anything going, especially on 40 Meters, but even on 80M. In
the CQ RTTY WPX contest, I had a peak hour of 77 Qâ??s vs. 56 in this contest.
In the WPX contest I would have 3 or 4 stations call at one time. In this
contest it took 3 or 4 or 6 CQâ??s to generate ONE QSO. Where was everybody?
Did the CQ 160M SSB contest â??suck the windâ?? out of this event? Or do I
need to put up some LOW Inverted Veeâ??s for 80/40M? My High Dipoles (aimed at
EU and JA) were getting beaten out too often on 80 and especially 40M!
In the CW event, I like to alternate 30-ON, 30-OFF to use up my OFF Times
before going to the Low Bands. The good openings to the West on 15 and 20M
kept me Hunting and Calling multipliers for the first 90 minutes with such
finds as VE8EV, some VE7â??s, VX6AO, KL2R, KL7RA, AH7C, KH6GMP, and other
western states. The Down Side is that Hunt and Call on RTTY is MUCH Slower
than on CW or SSB. The West Coast accounted for 25% of my contact total.
AZ 15, CA 67, OR 12, WA 21, VE7 8, KL7 5, KH6 2 = 130 QSOâ??s. Do any of them
ever ANSWER CQâ??s?
Long Skip was prevalent on ALL bands with NO Back-Scatter heard anywhere. On
20M my skip zone was defined by W1, NY, VE2, WI(1), MN, OK, and TX (only 2).
NIL to W3,8. The guys even 200 miles to the South had Much Better Coverage to
the North. I'm hearing grumblings from the 160M SSB participants also. With
so many contests back-to-back, maybe this is a good weekend to take a break...
