I had a bunch of obligations this weekend. Dinner with friends on Friday
evening, tree trimmers here on Saturday, Halloween in Tehachapi on Sunday. I
only have one antenna in the air. So I decided to play around on 15 meters.
I started Saturday morning at 9 am and the band was full of Europeans. I just
ran down the cluster list working one after another. The conditions were better
than I have seen for many years and it was great. After a quick dinner I went
back out to my shack and worked Asians until well after dark. I ended the day
with 9 hours BIC, 504 contacts, 31 zones, and 92 countries. The SFI was 108,
A=3, K=1. I really felt loud.
On Sunday morning I was out in the shack before 9 am and just a few Caribbeans
were coming through. I kept waiting for the band to open to Europe and it just
didn't happen. The elevated A index (25 decreasing to 8) was evident on the
polar path and signals were weak. I was able to add zone 16 but zone 20 eluded
me. I operated about five hours before we had to head to Tehachapi. I only
added 84 contacts, 2 zones, and 12 countries to my Saturday total. Many
stations just CQed in my face.
I had sand kicked in my face a number of times in pile ups by W6YI and KK6P.
Both had really great scores.
I call this a casual operation. I only called CQ when the band was open to Asia
on Saturday afternoon and evening. Everything else was S&P.
CQWW CW at ND7K.
