Comments:
After putting in a grueling 32 hours the previous weekend in CQ WW RTTY, I
decided to take it easy for this year's CQP. My goal was to make around 300
Q's, versus the 500 or so I've done before. I ended up putting in 9 hours
chair time, compared to the usual 18.
My other goals were to work an LOTW WV station on 15 meters and CW for WAS and
Triple Play awards. I made a QSO on 15 CW, but he hasn't confirmed it yet in
LOTW. 8-( I also wanted to pick up my remaining states on 10m, but the
propagation did not cooperate.
I was surprised at how badly my multiplier count was damaged by working fewer
hours. 5 Land mults seemed harder to work than usual on my windom.
Propagation seemed to go N-S on 20 that weekend. I worked only 47 of the 58.
Missed ME VT NV NE ND AR LA MS NM QC & AB. Worked about 2/3 of
our counties.
The pleasant surprise came on Sunday morning when the 15 and 20 opened to
Europe, and I felt like I was in a DX contest. Fun to have European stations
return my CQ from my modest station. Great participation from EU.
