Yep, it was fun. I'm not sure I've ever worked an all DX contest before. Made 300 Qs in 71 countries, 153 mults. No new countries but no doubt I got some new band-countries if I should decided to track them.

 

I heard locals W5KI and K5FUV and worked ZF5T on 80-40-20. Good solid signal each time.

 

I'd been working FT8 all week and needed to cleanse myself with a good blast of CW.

 

Rig: K3, AL-811 and 134 ft. inverted L.

 

I noticed that a power level of KW was pretty universal worldwide, but in the Caribbean 100 W seemed to be reported more often. I assume that's because weekend contesters didn't want to lug a big amp with them for the event. They didn't need it though, with the big signals coming out of that region.

 

73-

We got the biggest kick out of you, Rick and Dennis coming thru ON 10.  It is a big surprise…good one for sure….not  peep on that band yesterday. This was more than we could have hoped for.  I think we may give that 1.5 KW at ZF1A a run for their money, hi!

 

THANKS FOR THE Q’S!!!
