Comments:
Worst. Sunday. Ever.
The first 6-7 hours of the contest was fun. I love the long exchange and trying
to interleave QSOs on the second radio.
The hard sections seemed to be easy to find. I got the sweep when VA1RST called
in on 80m at 0630z. (I worked at least 2 of every section except PE/VY2TT and
VI/KP2M.)
Sunday was awful. So many unanswered CQs. Rate never happened during the
morning so the afternoon, with the added solar storm, was even worse.
I would have quit but wanted to make my goal of 1000 QSOs. Did it. Then
activity started to improve so pushed a little farther. Finally couldn't take
it any more and ended an hour early.
Was keeping an eye on AA3B and N2NT on the scoreboard. They at least validated
that there was no rate. We all marched along in lockstep. :(
Thanks to everyone that got on. It is always difficult the weekend immediately
after a great high sunspot CQ WW.
