Comments:
Just a casual first-time, part-time effort in CQWW. Conditions seemed very poor
the first night but gradually improved a little by Sunday. At times it seemed I
couldn't get out of my back yard. Also could not hear a lot of DX that stations
100 mi. south of me were working. Maybe too much auroral absorption this far
north. Tried to get runs going several times but most of the few callers were
zero-pointers. S&P was the only way to go. Ten was almost totally dead here.
The only station I heard was W3LPL faintly calling CQ. I called several times
but got only one "QRZ?" and no QSO.
Was amused by an African stn. working a huge pile, zeroed on his TX freq.,
while telling callers to go "up." He never worked any of the dozens who were
calling "up," only the ones on his freq. Truly a cluster! Maybe a *brilliant*
tactical move to thin out the pile? Ya think? :^) Had mucho fun. 73, Paul-K0PK
