Comments:
Condx were poor at the start - weak signals, QRN from thunderstorms a few
hundred miles away - you know, the usual summer condx. I was expecting maybe
200 QSOs total, but things improved as time went on, except for the
thunderstorm-related QRN. My final score was about the same as last year. On
Fri night (local) I was ready to call it a night, but then 15m reopened about
0330Z with LOUD Jas for about 30 minutes. I heard N6RO CQing on 10m on
Saturday, but never heard any other signals on that band.
My operation on Sunday was curtailed ahead of schedule by a wide-area Internet
outage. I operated remotely using W0DLE's station, located about 80 miles to
my southwest. We both lost Internet connectivity for several hours, so that
was the ballgame.
Used a TS480S (200W) remotely. The workhorse antennas were a single TH7 to JA,
a TH7 stack to western Asia (a tough path from here), and a 2 el phased array on
40. Worked most of what I heard, with the exception of a number of Chinese
stations who appeared to be alligators - loud here, but no response.
Thanks again to Chuck, W0DLE, for use of the station.
It would be nice if there were a LP category for non-Asians...
