Comments:
Ever try to skip a rock across the Brea Tar Pits? It won't happen...that is
what it felt like doing this contest with no relief from the High A index. I am
beginning to wonder if poorer SSN but a more stable Sun is better than higher
SFI.
For score wise, this one boosts your early ego as they add the kM between
maidenhead points - so it was fairly easy to get to 1M+ but if you couldn't not
find any DX, it took a lot longer to get the totals up.
The DX was sparse here in the lower corner of the Left Coast and I was
disappointed to work so few JAs - especially Saturday/Sunday morning.
The other unique feature of this contest was it's division of 3 distinct
periods with everyone being off at the same time. Good for resting - but only
the last two hours brought ANYTHING of value of the last eight hour session.
K1SFA (she works at the League) was my only ALL-BANDS contact and when I looked
her up on QRZ, it shows that she is an accomplished RTTY contester.
Thanks for all the Q's
WN6K, Paul
