Wow, starting out I had a few work/family obligations Sat morning. Was able to
start the contest around 11A local time. Condx were already great on 15m at my
start, checking 10, it was dead. Stayed on 15 for the time I had. Had a couple
more family things to attend to late afternoon, so it was touch and go.
At 0200UTC I got back on, did very well picking up the HQ mults.
20m was still very good, and proved to be the best band overall, day and night.
Went to 40 and 80 to pick up mults. Went back to 20m around 0400 and it was wide
open to EU, as well as some Asia (E2, BD, 9N, JA, all in the log). Sustained
rates of 150-200/hr until 0800UTC when I QRT'd for bed (had a tough sched with
lack of sleep the previous 2 nights which impacted things).
Starting the contest, I had no clear goals, but at 0400 I set a goal of 1000Qs,
which I almost made (954).
The live scoreboard (www.contestonlinescore.com)continues to inspire and
motivate! Congrats to my immediate competitors who ran neck and neck, back and
forth as the contest progressed....WA3AAN Grant, N3RD Dave,AA3R Fred, and
several others.
73 & thanks for the Qs!
