Comments:
The plan for this contest was to work band countries on 10 and 80
meters, and operate the other bands if I got bored with 80 and 10. 80
seemed to be about the same as the last couple of years, but 10 was a
little better. Ha! Last time I was able to work the world on 10
meters was in the 1972 ARRL DX contest! (Note that I missed a couple
of sunspot cycles between then and now).
Prior to the contest I made a list of countries not confirmed on 80
and 1- that I though should be reasonably easy to work. The 80 meter
list had 33 entities and the 10 meter list had 46 entities. I worked
2 new 80 meter entities, and all but 7 of my 46 10 meter entities.
If most of those new 10 meter entities confirm via LoTW, then I can
apply for 5BDXCC. Lets hope. They say RTTY operators are pretty good
at confirming contacts.
Took a few hours off in the middle of Saturday to repair my 30/210
degree Beverage and repair the 30 meter vertical.
Had a blast running Europeans most of both days. Had a couple of
short JA runs on 10, including about a dozen JAs in the last 30
minutes of the contest. The surprise multiplier was FR4NT, Reunion.
The 10 meter single band score is 436,898.
Equipment: K3, ETO 91B (thanks, Jeff), X7 at 60 feet, verticals for 40
and 80, Beverages, both kinds.
