Comments:
I look at this contest as good training for the January VHF Contest, because I
certainly worked almost every DC, MD & VA station that was on the air. I'm
sure I missed a fair number of mini-openings because I was doing something with
the kids here and there during the weekend, but whatever.
I was glad I turned the rig on from 11pm-1am local time on Saturday night,
because the band was wide open from DC to IA, SD and MN. Unlike last year,
when I worked dozens of Florida stations, this time I didn't even put five in
the log. And Texas was almost invisible as well, just three stations that came
up in the noise for a few minutes and then vanished.
It almost seemed like there was an RF curtain for me going South. I couldn't
raise K1TO and some other Floridians, and I couldn't get the attention of any
South Americans other than one PY. I felt bad for HI3TEJ when he gave me #25
on Sunday morning.
But as always, it was a fun contest. As someone else said, just think - in a
few years, you might do these numbers in one hour. Hopefully.
