Comments:
This year was very similar to last year. However, a few more QSOs and a few
less multipliers resulted in a slightly lower score. The distribution of QSOs
across bands and continents was nearly identical except the 80/40 mix (which
was nearly equal last year). The shift towards 40m was due to a couple of
extended multi-hour sessions with good rates and not many attempts to move me
off the frequency. There also seemed to be more activity which helped me to
boost my QSOs/hour stat.
Saturday: I had a decent start and went to bed around midnight with lots of
states in the log for a change (I only needed Wyoming, Montana and Alaska and
picked up Wyoming on Sunday).
Sunday: In the past I would get started about 8AM and find there was already
some European activity on 20m. This year I tried a 7:30 start and found that
things were just starting to get going. No doubt an earlier start would have
resulted in a more QSOs but I like getting a good night sleep!
Best callsign: PD0SANTA. Best DX: I was called by A45WD on 20m on Sunday
afternoon. I also found a couple of lonely ZL stations calling CQ late Sunday
afternoon on 15m and worked each with one call. These and a couple of Hawaiian
stations were the only Oceania stations I put in the log (Also - A4 and ZC4 from
â??Asiaâ??, CN and CT3 from Africa, and only a dozen or so from the Caribbean +
South America).
