Comments:
Saturday was slow with little sporadic-E until VP5CW and C6ANX just after 2300.
(Both were in much of Sunday with booming signals at times.)
Sunday started with scatter-like Es to the Midwest, along with C5YK at 1216! He
had a good steady signal and began running US stations, thanks to encouragement
of W1JJ. Could never get a continuous run going, but there was some Es nearly
call the time to the end of the contest. Band slowly shifted south around 1730.
Caribbean stations were in much of the time, joined by PY, YV stations, which
were booming after 1900. There was also strong backscatter when pointed south
and picked up a number of stations north of me that way, including a surprise
calls from VE9AA and VY2RU, who was especially strong. Never heard any
double-hop to the west.
Interesting contest and glad to see continuous CW activity nearly all the time.
Propagation sure could have supported more activity!
KW, 2x6-element Yagis
