Comments:
Activity and condx were not great this time around. 6 did open Saturday night
but though signals were loud and a wide geographic area was worked, there were
not that many stations on at any one time. It may be because it was mainly
relatively long single hop Es with a little double hop as well. None of the
high rate shorter stuff (600 miles +/-) to the Midwest that brings high rates.
WQ0P was the first and last station heard and in between loudest throughout the
opening. Sunday morning 6 was open again mainly to Florida and southern GA and
AL with a few in SC too. Activity on 2M was low and condx about normal.
As with last year, the confusion continues between the new (in 2015) ARRL rules
and the CQWW rules. The chat page was used a lot to make skeds and announce
freqs, CQs etc. Some probably aren't planning to enter a log which is fine. And
perhaps some were confused by the rule differences between the contests. Not
sure anything can or should be done though after experiencing the ARRL rules
I'd probably be in favor of extending them to this contest too.
All in all it was fun but hoping next year brings some better condx.
73,
Jeff K1TEO
