Comments:
I haven't done a 48 hour contest all bands since the ARRL DX back around ten
years ago. My highest QSO total ever so I really enjoyed all the action.
Set out to see if I could make 6000 QSOs even with us in the lower part of the
cycle.
Bands were in great shape with the exception of 10 being marginal at best. 10
did a very medicocre opening to the mainland Saturday with a few W6 and W7 guys
late morning. Sunday's opening was better going deeper to FL and a few of the
big gun stations in the east. But, not many stations were listening, but for
those who were, it wasn't a bad opening.
15 was much better. I only spent a total of 10 hours on the band and had over
2000 QSOs. I believe 3000 could have been done in a full monoband effort.
The same was true for 40. Only 14.5 hours yielded 1868 Q's. A full blown
effort would have easily exceeded last years' monoband effort. The band was
hot. Little noise and the Chinese Dragon has disappeared.
80 and 160 provided for lots of surpise mults calling in the east coast
sunrise, including DC.
20 was.....uh, 20. Wall to wall crud, but once the EU went to bed, mainland
beams turned west and the piles got big.
Thanks to all who called and speical thanks to the mainland US and VEs for the
quick attempts to QSY for mults.
Now, a couple of weeks off until the WPX
