Comments:
K4ISV reported 8369 X 336 = 8,435,952 for VP5B on the real 3830
after the contest. That is only a difference of 64,851 or 0.76%.
It's Bush vs Gore all over again, too close to call.
160M was very tough sledding. All signals (even VE1ZZ) were weak,
and we never could get our receive antennas to work right. We
apologize for being a major alligator.
Given 160M conditions, 75M was pretty good, but I sort of expected
that. 8P5A (W2SC) was the loudest Caribbean station on 80M in ARRL CW.
We consistently got reports of 20-30 over from the East Coast and
solid S9 from the West Coast. Mults missed: WY, VE8, VO2, VY0, VY1
Given that we had no 40M beam (it's broken), we did better on 40M SSB
that I thought we would. Mults missed: VE8, VO2, VY0, VY1
High bands were great. On 20 & 15, missed: VE8, VY0, VY1.
Got a VY1 on 10M.
Following is the rate sheet. QRATE said the best hour was 343
during the 20-21 hour on Saturday. This was by K4MA which was
a personal best for me.
Another interesting piece of data. This was the 4th trip to 8P9Z
for Will and I. Between 4 contests and some operating outside
of the contests, the 8P9JA callsign has made over 33,000 QSOs.
Thanks for all the Qs.
73, Jim K4MA & 8P9JA
