Up until about 5:00 PM Sunday, it was a fairly routine SS. It appeared
that I would be eating dinner around 6:00 PM Sunday with 1000 Qs in the bag and
plenty of time left to blast through 1100 for a new personnel best. Then
someone shut off the bands. I was too stubborn to throw in the towel so I just
kept jumping between 15 and 20 looking for ANY kind of a signal. Was able to
squeeze out a Q about every 5 minutes of so. Of course 40 and 80 were cIosed
so I reverted to just Auto CQing on 14030 and just took them as they came. I
had about 960 Qs when the bands went out and somehow managed to eek over the
1000 mark.
On the positive side, the bands were great on Saturday might. I found I was
able to maintain better rates on 80 than on 40 which was a first for me.
