Comments:
Wow! I thought conditions were great Friday night, but late Saturday night was
incredible. My raw score beats the current USA low power record, but I think
that other scores will be even greater. I worked several new countries and
missed some that I thought would be there. Did not even hear CE1/K7CA and I
usually work him in all the 160 contests. I have spent years looking for KL7
on 160. I had a sked Friday morning before the contest and worked KL7RA.
Thanks Rich! But then later that morning I worked NL7G. Now, if I could only
work one in the contest. Sure enough, Saturday morning I heard KL7RA running
and worked him with virtually no problem. The bands were crowded too. I had
several instances of other stations creeping up on me. I had one station
follow me a couple of times as I nudged up to get out of his signal. Others
just start calling CQ right on top of you when you know that they can hear you.
I even had one instance of someone calling me, I worked him and then he took my
QRG. But aside from those rare instances, it was a great contest. I had a
stretch goal of making 1000Qs and for a while it looked like a stretch. But
after the Sunday morning Eu sunrise run, I knew I could do it. Missed some
sections, like WY and DC. Where was W3DQ or N7NG? Heard one VE4 doing S&P but
I couldn't snare him. More than doubled my score from last year. Thanks for
all the Qs!!!
