The bands.
160 - Why?
80 - It was very noisy on 80 meters this year - We need to work on
our receive antennas. As a result we did not work much on this
band.
40 - We really tried to milk this band out - but we did not have much
luck in getting answers to our CQs to europe. This band was much
better to europe in ARRL but my guess is that is because they
are not working eachother in ARRL. Our runs to JA were about
normal and this really helped our points. In fact this was our
best point band. With the MUF going low after dark - never was
able to work much stateside on this band.
20 - Russ (AA5RB) Started the contest on this band. He had 218 qsos
by 01z. His best 60 mins was 226 from 0004-0104z. His next
hour was a 159 - it sure was fun having the biggest number in
the states for awhile. Being in Texas we just dont ever get
the good europe runs - so we worked alot of usa on this band
and you can tell it from the points. DF4TD was giving us
a hard time about having to call us for more than 30 mins
from Germany in the arrl ssb test - we kept telling him that
20m is really tough from W5. We sat him down on sat. morning
and let him "run" europe - when he had had enough he said that
he *now* understood what we meant. He never said another word
about us having trouble hearing him in arrl. :-)
15 - This band never did open to europe - we did manange to run
a few JA stations but that path was poor also. In ARRL this
band was pretty good and we had the high numbers - but not this
time.
10 - Lots of strong LU stations - good signals from the south
on both days.
