Comments:
A fun M2 outing with four operators remote from the K6MTU station. Only the
far distant K6UFO in Washington state reported any internet problems which
broke up his RX and TX audio a dozen times, and dropped him from the site once.
Congratulations to the N6RO team, which took an early lead and never slowed
down. We are pleased that our single-tower-with-tribanders could keep up with
multiple-towers-and-stacked-monobanders. We made a strategic error starting on
15m and 20m, while N6RO (and big scorer K7RL) started on 10m and 15m, giving
them
a hundred QSO lead in the first 3 hours. After that we chased and chased on
the online scoreboard, passing and pulling away from the other M2s, but N6RO
never slacked off and kept their lead to the end.
10m was apparently wide-open at the start, and we didn't get there until the
second hour, so count us as stuck in the solar cycle doldrums past... Once
we got there it was fun, and 15m was great too until about 22z. Then it was
the usual crowded sidewalk on 20m for hours while hoping for 40m to open soon!
Eventually 40m and 80m were wide open and delivered well.
There was activity from all the states but North Dakota, and 8 of the
13 Canadians. QSOs were 973 USA, 71 Canadians (You betcha!) and two dozen of
everywhere else.
Thanks to the great team members, who get along great (at a distance) and
let us divide the 24hrs (12hrs x 2transmitters) into enjoyable 4 hour sprints.
Double-thanks to Kevin K6TD for keeping the toys working and ready for fun.
