Comments:
The Topband gremlins were out in droves last night: slow, deep QSB; high
absorption (unless everyone was QRP?); QRN developing later in the night; light
activity; US stations calling cq on top of dx stations already on freq (e.g.
ON6AA); etc. etc. The combination made football watching and bed more
attractive alternatives for a good chunk of time. The slow deep QSB
necessitated long repetitive fills which weaker calling stations often didn?t
understand. Activity was significantly lighter than I would have expected.
Thanks for the many callers and apologies to the many I couldn?t pull out ?
conditions were tough indeed.
I was running 1.5KW to an inverted L with 580ft Beverages in 4 directions.
DX worked: DL, FM, G, GM, GU, KH6, KV4, OK, ON, S5, UA2
DX heard: 4X3A
The rules for 2003 should be changed to give both ends of a qso the same point
value ? I would really like to hear a defensible argument for having it
otherwise.
73 & happy 2K3,
