Luvin' every minute of it!!
Never operated during or near a solar max before and had heard all these tales
of how great 10 m was - this weekend I think I got a taste and I like it - a
lot!
Had to keep revising my goals upwards as I just couldn't do anything wrong and
the mults and qsos kept coming right to the end. Ended up achieving a personal
goal when I worked DXCC in a contest - 104 countries found their way into the
log.
Found the low bands a lot better on Saturday night than Friday and actually did
better on 40 ssb than I thought I would. Got rather worried about the lack of
countries on 20 m but that all changed when 10 and 15 closed on Sunday and
everyone moved to 20. Never would have believed the amount of stations on 10
Sunday - OMG!
So anyways, as you can tell, I enjoyed myself. I'm sure that I made my share
of mistakes and tactical errors but right now I couldn't care less. This one is
in the books and now I'm really stoked for CQWW CW!!
As usual, it's a jungle out there when you run qrp!
73,
Doug
