Comments:
I can't remember the last contest when the K-Index stayed at 1 for entire
contest period. High band conditions were really good at night; with even a 9N
station booming in on 15m. The early going after daybreak here was tough going,
with 10m never opening very well.
I wish I had the ability to point antennas in two different directions, as the
bands were often open to both Europe and Japan at the same time, and they are
about about 90° apart here, as a beam heading.
It was great to work all the little fluttery I4xx WRTC competitors on 20 and 15.
The first ones that I worked were very weak, and they called me, instead of the
other way around. They were obviously hearing me much better than I was hearing
them. When the band opened up at night, they were all much easier to find, so I
did some S&P and worked many more. I logged 46 different WRTC stations.
