Comments:
The second ARRL 222 and Up Distance Contest now in our records. The distance
aspect is growing on me. The points multiplier makes sense as the idea is to
foster more stations to ADD bands that are less densely populated. I did not
experience any enhancement this year. Band openings are sometimes localized
more than you'd think. The APRS map does a good job at showing in a near real
time manner what band conditions are near you, and MAY be at your location.
The Rovers were out!! They keep us focused! Those in my region were W2RMA/R,
KD3PD/R, NN3Q/R, N9ZL/R, KF2MR/R, WB2SIH/R, K3WHC/R, WA3USG/R and W1RGA/R. What
a great showing they all made accounting for 32% of my contacts. ON4KST is
very valuable resource to set up real time skeds. Calling CQ is also very
important because everyone cannot reach the internet, especially the Rovers.
Also a related point on band activity. On Friday I worked three new stations on
2304 including Steve K3WHC and Dick WA3USG, both sporting new transverters and
Mike W3IP with a true SDR radio controlled by through a long USB cable going up
the tower. And all three got in during the contest. Welcome to the
Microwaves. There is more room on these frequencies. Hoping more will be
encouraged to add new bands. Thanks everyone for being on and working me.
This was a very fun event. Back to packing now for the 10 GHz and Up contest.
