Another radio weekend up here in Maine (on-site, not remote).
It has been an excellent opportunity to test the new reception systems that have
been added (in addition to improving the existing ones) in these past weeks
leading up to the upcoming three CQWW contests. Unfortunately, this contest
doesn't include 160M for testing performance, but at least on 80M, I believe the
team has achieved a fantastic RX, even with a high band-noise level and many QRN
coming from an approaching storm that turned into rain on Sunday.
Regarding the contest itself, I believe the participation was interesting,
although it is also true that it is becoming more common to hear stations
calling CQ, making very worthy entries with many Qs but not wanting to receive
QTC. My plan of not having more than 50 QTC in stock only worked until the
second day, where I had to sacrifice QSOs to go out every half hour and look for
stations interested in receiving my QTCs.
I spent most of the 36 hours operating in Dual CQ mode except when sending QTCs
and when going out to search for stations, multipliers, and QTC receivers,
especially during Sunday. I must not forget to mention and thank the large
number of stations that responded to my QSY requests to work them on other
bands, even in a higher percentage than in other contests, which is something
worth highlighting.
The overall propagation from here was fantastic: with a K-index ranging between
0 and 1, no auroras, and no geomagnetic disturbances, Maine is the place to be
in this contest, and as Krassy says: “it's when the station shows its
beauty”.
To my surprise, this score surpasses by 25% the old NA record held by “Uncle
Jeff” as VY2ZM from PEI 11 years ago (2012) and it's 50% higher than the
previous own US record held by K1LZ from the old station in Massachusetts also
in 2012.
Once again, thanks to Krassy for trusting me and lending me his F1 to become a
better pilot every day.
See you next!
