[ADXA] 160m contest ...

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

You didn't miss a JA opening. I was lucky to snag just three and never
could get HL5IUA to hear me. He couldn't hear anyone else either. He is
usually boomin' in here in the mornings on 160 but he was very weak
today so condx were not gud. 

I've posted my score on 3830 in the SOHP category. I was not using any
assistance, no skimmer, no internet, no DX cluster just just working the
band. I ended up with 1490 QSO's, 83 sections and 21 DX countries. The
only section I missed was NT. Guess there were no moose available to
activate it!. It is difficult to work a lot of EU in a contest like
this. When the band fills up with wall to wall east coast stations my
noise floor rises around 5 to 10 dB so weak EU is simply buried. 

Good to work everyone. It was really great to hear all of the ADXA folks
on. When I listed who I heard I also forgot Pat, W5VY who was in the
fray. There may have been others. 

Anyway, another one in the bag and I'm glad I was able to participate in
this one, even if it was at the cost of our not having an annual
conference this year! 

Now, next one??? Next weekend the ARRL 10 meter contest so some of you
folks need a few on 10 that you can pick up next weekend. You know what
to do....GET IN THERE!

> Nice first night you had, Joel ....  Not many hours for me, and all S&P.  With conditions that looked good for two night in a row ... your score should huge.  Look forward to seeing how the rankings fill out.  Knowing AR was so well represented, I felt comfortable with only putting in a few hours, hihi.

I finished the first night with 1066 Q's, 82 of the 84 sections and 15 DX. The DX seems down but we'll see what happens tonight. I did not find any EU during their SR last night and no JA's or SE Asia this morning. The DX activity was way down last weekend in CQWW.

He got an update from 7Q7RU yesterday that bumped him to 261 Mixed and 1152 on the Desoto Challenge.  He's added new band/mode counters across the bands.  Nice work George.
