Comments:
Friday evening was enjoyable; got to 60k in a hurry! Good rate on 40 and 80.
However, woke up Sunday to the poorest condx in recent memory. NOAA released an
alert for a sudden geomag impulse -- and that was the story of the day. I
checked repeatedly to see if the antenna was even connected. 20 and 15 were a
slog and went from 5-10 station bursts to near total blackout. At around noon, I
had made less than 200 QSOs on the day. Reverted to 40 long before I wanted to,
and it seemed like everyone else did the same. There was some rate there, but
nothing to write home about. I quit an hour or so early. Missed my goal of 1000
QSOs by a big margin and didn't grab as many mults as I should have.
Nonetheless, had a great time. Thanks to the out of state participants for
making this one fun.
