Comments:
Lots of fun as usual. Conditions were excellent but typical summer.
Only 1 EU station worked on 10M - EF4HQ. A few others heard ESP
but not able to hear me. 15 - 40 were great with TM0HQ (TM6M)
heard until 0330Z on 15M - amazing.
Unfortunately for me, the WRTC competition greatly changed the
landscape on this one. The casuals were busy chasing the ARRL
points and WRTC certificates rather than calling the rest of the
participants. Also, because the WRTC was so CW centric, it pulled
casuals and HQ stations away from the SSB portion. For the first
time, I never heard NU1AW on any band - SSB. And W100AW was not
on 160 SSB either.
So I am sure that a record breaking opportunity existed for the
low power SSB category but it was elusive given the circumstances.
Not complaining about it at all - but the facts are what they are.
I was spotted 8 times in the contest according to the DX Summit
search and was spotted 16 times in 2012 given similar conditions.
I basically CQ'ed the entire time.
This contest is really a hidden jewel in my opinion. It would be
really interesting if the format was changed to the WRTC format
for the whole contest. I think many more would participate. The
summer conditions are so different - it really changes things up.
Congrats to all the WRTC champions.
Enjoy the summer.
