Comments:
One of these years we may even get even good propagation for this contest, but
it definitely didn't happen this year! 15M never really opened to anywhere;
the only reason I had more than a few Qs there was the 2nd radio. All the 10M
QSOs, were QSYs, with N8II actually moving me to work WV there. Even those I
did work on 15M were pee-weak. 80M was quite noisy, and got worse Sunday as
the thunderstorms approached. There was also quite a drop-off in activity when
the ARI contest ended when all the crowds of Europeans suddenly disappeared and
it became even more challenging to keep the rate up.
This is an excellent contest to practice SO2R dual-Cqing, which I did probably
75% of the time. Being on 2 bands at the same time helps keep the rate up, and
gives the op something to do.
Thanks to everyone for the Qs, and a great big thanks to Krassy K1LZ for the
use of his KB station!
