This is my best alltime score from a home QTH for the SSB part of CQWW. 10m was a record-setting number of country mults for me at 122, almost had dxcc on a 3rd band, 20m with 93. Great runs on 10m Sat and excellent runs on 15 for me Sun when 10 was not quite as good. 160 was a sad disappointment with 8Qs and 3 countries worked. High noise, and never could hear much of anything. I overslept Sat morning, and missed at least an hour of runs on 10m, but did well once I got started. Great to bust a few pileups ahead of better equipped stations and I was constantly hearing a lot of FRC members in the pileups. Really fun to watch the contest scoreboard in real time, it really adds fun to the mix, and gives you a ballpark idea of how you are doing. 10m was the money band for mults, but for me 15m was the money band for QSOs, almost 600. Looking forward to the CQWW CW when I will be operating from Bermuda again as AB2E/VP9. 73 Darrell AB2E Contest: CQWWSSB  Band     QSOs     Pts   ZN  Cty  Pt/Q    1.8       8      14    3    3   1.8    3.5      79     214   12   53   2.7      7     134     355   17   64   2.6     14     279     783   25   93   2.8     21     574    1614   29  106   2.8     28     393    1127   29  122   2.9  Total    1467    4107  115  441   2.8 Score: 2,283,492 1 Mult = 2.6 Q's Posted using 3830 Score Submittal Forms at: http://www.3830scores.com/
