Conditions to Europe up this far north were very spotty, and
poor especially on Sunday morning. The QSB was horrendous,
and at times surrealistic. Also at times, there were no signals
at all showing on the display! I got that sinking feeling
more than once that something on my end had failed, especially
with the band noise being so incredibly low. However, owing
to the ever increasing RTTY activity, I was able to work 63
unique Countries in my 28 hours on air time with my LP
sttion. The SDR spectrum scope really makes a huge difference
on S&P, which I did a lot of in this contest. On 15 meters,
where there were never more than 3 or 4 signals, I was able
to see them and pounce accordingly. Only 1 or 2 countries
were worked on my CQ's. Still, I had a wonderful time.
Thnks to all of the NA stations that came back to my CQ's with
my rather mundane K7 call sign prefix.
