Before the contest I did a quick run-through with HamCAP and the
indications were that propagation would be 10m<15m<20m and that's how it
turned out.
20m was my base band and I made forays upwards, especially to 15m and
occasionally 10m, but I had only 5 QSOs on 10.
In the evenings 40m and 80m did really well but 20m had some kick to it for
quite a while. Got AK there quite late.
It was a fun contest.

I operated on 20, 15 and 10 starting at 1815. After 30 minutes of both S&P
and running, I had only 12 contacts, got discouraged and gave up.
Stations that were S8 and above did not answer repeated calls from me. I think
I
had one 10m QSO. Figured I had an antenna problem of some sort.
Went out to dinner later in the day and gave it a second go starting
around 0330. 80m was hopping and I had some great fun there with my 20 foot
high
inverted V that's used only for SS and NAQP. 40m did not seem as active
but had great fun there as well with the Butternut vertical. Ended up with
110 contacts after an hour and a half of a very unserious overall effort.
I'm beginning to think that the daytime propagation was long and my
vertical was overshooting everyone. On the same antenna at night, everything
was
normal.

I wasn’t in the contest for long, but I did get 16 contacts on 10 meters,
11 from 1912z to 1925z and another 5 from 2014z to 2018z.
