Comments:
What an interesting Contest. I had a bad feeling when the Flux was 84 and the A
Index 40 at the start. Was it ever slow down here. Had a goal of 500Q's, but
took every minute of 24Hrs to log 332.
Sporadic openings here and there, First 12 hours had only worked a handful of NA
Mults and a few JA's. Nothing from EU until about 1 1/2 hours before Sunset on
40M. Even then, some signals there were light. Had a nice late night EU opening
on 15/20,managed to grab more mults there. Did work EM1HO, but nothing from
AF.
Kept pushing my first rest period, did not want to miss any opening. Finally
decided I was running out of options, so took my first rest during the night as
eastern EU/AS sigs were fading. Thought I could catch Western EU before Sunrise
on 40, only found a few more. So, 15 was the money band for me this time
around, Did make more Q's on 10 than imagined.
Thanks for the Q's es 73,
Wes W3SE / ZL3TE
