Comments:
Conditions were great, but I made a tactical error not starting on 10 meters. I
knew it 5 minutes into the contest, but I had a good frequency on 15 meters and
didn't want to give it up and couldn't find a real good spot on 10. I'm sure
that cost me a few QSOs. Even so, after 6 hours I was even with last year, but
then things went in the dumper. Wound up 80 QSOs behind last year. I find some
solace in the fact that the top scores are down from last year also. It sure
would be nice if NCCC, PVRC and FRC did another head to head competition like a
years ago. When they did that there were no Sunday doldrums.
It seems like there has been a rise in QRP operations. That is great for
activity, but sure puts a stress on my ears. Unlimited operations seem to have
increased also. Every time I find new meat on Sunday, there is a pileup of
"U" stations. I have to keep tuning and come back later.
I was needing PR for the sweep Sunday morning and found a non-contester KP4
CQing on 20 meters. He gave me #8, but I couldn't get him to give me his power.
No point in trying for year licensed. I was sure that would be the only PR
station heard, but found another one an hour later. Only 1 VI also. Everywhere
else was 2 or more.
