Saturday was nice but Sunday was a real drag! Ten never quite opened
all the way.
Friday night started off with the best hour of the contest (114) of
mostly 3 pointers in S.A. & VK/ZL. The second hour was the second best
of the contest (86) but many more zero pointers. My last Q on Fri nite
was ZL1ALZ at 0314 and I was at 230 Qs x 90 pfxs.
First Q on Sat morning was 3DA5A at 1247. He was the first thing I
heard on 10 and I had to struggle through the Europeans. I worked an
EA8 and FR5DX and then was surprised to work S51W as my first European
at 1329. I got a big bang when ET3AA called at 1405 and VQ9ZZ later at
1730. I needed both of those! I also got a kick out of working JR2TQG
on long path at 1419.
Last European was a CT at 1913. The new H44 called me at 2049! The
band died quite a bit earlier on Sat night with VK3AFM at 0048 and WM5UA
at 0052. At that time I was at 751 Qs x 333 Pfxs and almost 500 k
points.
Ten continued its nose dive on Sunday. Every Q on Sunday was with the
beam pointed either SE or SW. I worked only South America starting with
ZW5B at 1341 until 1443 when I worked OT8A. NO ONE would answer my
CQs! In the first 3 hours I only made 22 Qs! (I snoozed on the couch
from 1415 to 1443 it was so bad!) At 1600 I finally forced myself to
hold down the CQ key and things picked up a little. I was beaming SE
and getting a few Europeans to answer. The best hour on Sunday was 2200
to 2300 with 42 Qs, most of which were US stations on scatter. There
were many stations too weak to copy. P20X woke me up at 2259.
I was surprised to get 97 Europeans and 59 JAs. Next year will be
great! My Summary Sheet, Continent statistics, # Qs in each country and
rate sheet follow.
