Comments:
All S and P effort to work WRTC competitor stations and ITU Zones plus HQ mults.
Initially was casual effort to work all WRTC I4#x prefixes, then started to
work all 58 WRTC competitor calls for the WRTC Sprint Award. Got 'em all (!) at
the 6h 15m point, 4th fastest in North America using only a single mode (CW).
Fun using the very nice WRTC website to monitor my progress and help find the
various callsign QRGs. Terrific ears from the WRTC teams!!
With great band conditions on 15m and eventually 20m into Eu and elsewhere I
began to mainly work any new Zones or HQ mults while still working available
WRTC teams. Thunderstorm activity made working 40m (and 80m) DX tough so
numbers are down there...worked less than half the WRTC team calls on 40m, none
on 80m.
My best score ever in IARU HF; fun to reach 210 total mults! Great to
participate in a WRTC year -- excellent activity and 15m was the best band
overall for me (was working UA9/0 and UN Asia stations 'til after 0430z on 15m,
wow!). And a definite first for me was working Zones 42 and 44 (9N7, BA5) along
with B8HQ in this event! Great effort by the WRTC teams and all HQ stations as
well as rare zone activators (found 37 unique ITU zones). TNX and 73!!
