Comments:
I haven't participated in this contest for three years, but thanks
to Dick, K1HC, I thought I would again. However, between the
NAQP RTTY contest on Saturday, and the Wimbledon Gentleman's
Final on Sunday, I didn't have a chance to fire up until 2pm Sunday.
I heard nothing.
Looking at DXMaps told me that only FT8 was active. I've had
enough FT8 lately, so I set up my rigs on the SSB calling freqs
and turned on the squelch. I waited; heard nothing.
FINALLY, at 4:27 the squelch broke -- wow, I finished with 10 points.
I did keep DXMaps active, "just in case" HI or AK showed up on 6.
For those, I would have gone to FT8.
