Low Banders for a Marauder Minimum - It was fun while it lasted. Sunspots be
d@mned!
This year's score is down about 26% from last year. I had set a goal of 1,000
Qs and 200K+ points. So much for goals, eh?
Things started out like gangbusters and ended up fizzling out rather quickly.
100+ Qs/HR the first couple of hours. The rate meter hit a high of 245/HR and
a low of 15/HR near the end. I took several naps throughout the ordeal and
finally threw in the towel around 1215Z Sunday morning, probably leaving
another potential 3 or 4 Qs over the final 3+ hours on the table. 8-) Not the
fun I've become accustomed to the past few years.
Multiplier challenged sums up this year's effort. DX and even domestic mults
were at a premium. I missed UT, AK, PR, LAX, SCV, SDG, EWA, NL, and of course
the ever elusive NWT. Most of the DX heard was eventually worked, but I just
didn't hear much. Band conditions were quiet for the most part.
Nice to run into old friends as well as quite a few new calls. Hope to work
you all again in The Stew later this month.
Thanks to all for the Qs!
