Saturday: I got started on Saturday morning about 10:30. The band seemed to be
fairly active so I did a quick search/pounce scan and then settled down to
calling CQ. At about 11:00 activity picked up quite a bit and the rate meter
climbed to 150 at one point, a lot better than I had expected given recent band
conditions. I called it a day after only three hours with 150 QSOs logged. I had
worked stations all over the U.S. and Canada along with a few South American and
Caribbean stations. Nothing heard from Europe or Africa.
Sunday: I got started much earlier; about 8:30 hoping that I would hear
something from Europe as the morning wore on. There wasn't much happening
except for a few close-in folk so I set up a CQ-loop and managed to keep the
rate meter at about 20-30/hour for about four hours. The band didn't seem to
nearly as good as it was Saturday but was starting to pick up about 1:00 when I
quit to go help WC1M with his tower project. Still no European or African
stations logged.
Best DX was ZL1BYZ at 18:00Z on Saturday...
