Comments:
Based on the propagation we have had lately, this weekend was a pleasant
surprise.
Very difficult to find (and hold) a run frequency on 20 and 15m. Impossible on
40m below 7225. Spent too much time S&P as a result. I was going to enter
unassisted but after 5 hours with not many multipliers, I gave in and fired up
the cluster.
The propagation on 10m was just plain strange to me. The paths to South America
and zone 8 were fairly normal. The path to Europe was new to me. The signals
heard were extremely weak, not moving the S meter, but yet workable with little
effort. The audio was distorted as if some kind of auroral flutter at times. The
QSB was also strange to me. Aslo worked many stateside stations by what almost
sounded like back scatter. No Asia or Alaska stations could be heard from here
on 10m.
Worked a lot of 2 pointers and 98 zero pointers. Hope they needed the DXCC or
zone multiplier.
Lack of sleep does funny things to your mind. After saying "VICTOR"
about 100,000 times, it became nearly impossible to say it clearly.
Now to get ready for a couple sweepstakes events.
73 and thanks for the Q's.
