Comments:
Very low QRN levels here in central OH. But propagation was below average.
Some weak Euros (26 mults) , no mainland Africa, no S.A., no Pacific/Asians
other than KH6AQ. No KL7 or even VE7 heard.
Missed ND, AK and DC mults.
Numerous strong AZ/CA stations esp. Sunday morning.
Avg qso rate = 47.6 Q's/hr. Max hourly rate= 103.
Spend Night 1 mostly S&P'ing for DX. RAN most of Night 2. OTA 10.15
hours in a semi-casual effort.
Heard a fair number of Euros in and out of the noise, but they struggled to
hear me. Night 2 was better as c. 10 of them replied to my CQs, but, again,
with sigs just above the noise. Worked 26 Euro DX entities.
The single overriding factor this year was how quiet the band sounded. Gone
were the continuous piles of stations of years past. Plenty of elbow room.
And the very low QRN, and no power line noise issues, made it more pleasurable
