Comments:
First of all thanks to all the ops out there for the QSO's.
When I checked the bands before the contest they were very quiet, and I thought
that it will be a difficult contest, boy was I wrong. At 1800Z there were
signals on 10 metres, only worked 24 stations but it was a good sign.
I almost worked as many stations on 40 mtrs as I did on 20, that has never
happened before.
I found that propagation was excellent north-south but east-west was a problem
on most bands.
Sorry to all the stations that asked for QSY's, I did try but unfortunately
there was no propagation.
I did much better than last year, about 6X better. Most of my contacts were
S&P only did a couple of run's, with the QRN,QRM and QSB it did not seem to
be wise to try and run, so S&P it was.
Unfortunately I will miss the SSB contest due to timing conflicts.
I look forward to the next contest.
