I had a great time operating QRP as TI5N at TI5KD station. If we want more USA activity, then don't hold it on USA holiday Memorial Day weekend. I never made any QSOs on 160 or 80 and only spent 30 minutes on 40. 20 and 15 were open to Europe almost all night. Phil Krichbaum N0KE

Of course we can get only 2 pts for country to country qsos and 1pt for own country. On 10m we had UFB EU Es-propagation but we did get only 1pt per qso ...
US activity was so low and EU so high that nowadays USA East Coast station will always beat EU single op and many multi singles as well.

Exciting contest, great format! Perhaps the best challenge to an operator for score strategy.. ..US 2X1 casual operators rapidly disappearing as they are being traded in for vanity calls, making it more difficult to pick up stray mults by calling CQ.

Did a multi-single from HC8N with K6AW. Lots of fun, but definately much
more activity out of Europe than North America.

Just few hours, sunday evening, to test the new antenna system (KT34A up on a 9 meter tower, and windom 10-80) built just in time before the weekend (but the weekend was spent in the country!!) and the emotion of my new contest callsign IR2V. Now I need a real contest radio (used IC706MkII barefoot!) but had some good run anyway!! CU ALL AGN.

WPX - 80M

A quick response to the comment about 80M - you have to realize the euro's get 4 pts each for 80M qso's between countries. USA only gets 1 pt for 80M qso's between states. Thus, no 80M activity in USA.

Had a good time. The time I spent. Planned on a better effort. But missed Friday night and both morning runs. 15 was still in fair shape dispite the poor wwv numbers. Course 10 meters was a bust from Mn. Worked around 12 hours and managed to get 600+ Q's and 500,000 points. Was nice to work SU9ZZ and a 5W and a few other SE asia but not many Ja's for me.
See u next time KT0R

Objective was to test the Rig connected to the CT and the LPT port to keyer. The CT to the rig worked OK. Big disapponment was with the LPT port to the Radio interface (home built). It did not work due to RF. I'll need to get the optocoupled version.... By the way the NPN transistors offered by Radio shack have a wrong visual aid !! ref. RS 276-1617

in preparation for FD. Played for only about
12 hours, but we had a great time!

Saturday at night my body was longing for a pile-up!! Like the dessert needs rain I was heading to the shack to produce some pile-ups. Had fun and went for my goal of 1million points and 1000 Q�s. Immediately after I achieved my preset goal I went QRT as the family now was longing for me, hi.
