[PaQSO] H O W L O N G ?

Also had a lot of fun here in both contests.  Time limited me to evenings on
the CW weekend, so I went single band on 80 (why?  Because I'm trying to
finish 80 DXCC and thought I could pick up some new ones.  I did).  Let's
just say that that one is a "quality not quantity" score.

On phone, I only spent about half the contest period QRV, and I had to run
barefoot.  Still, 545 QSO's and 360K points for a part-time effort ain't
bad.  And then I hear W4ZE (fellow WASH member) had 1100 Q's and over 1
Million points, but he's HP not LP so I don't feel that bad about getting
creamed!

And 10 & 15 was open longer -- there just weren't many people left to work,
but I heard stations on 15 as late as 3 AM EST!

73, ron wn3vaw

ARRL DX Phone and CW contests were lots of fun.  We have rough scores of 6.2
million on CW and 7.6 million on SSB, before log editing.  Propagation was
super for both, most outstanding for CW on both ends of the spectrum, 160
through 10 meters. European stations were so loud on 160 that we thought
they were USA stations.  10 meters was open 14 hours per day. 15 was open
around 16 hours per day.   20 meters was open for DX 24 hours per day!  We
worked over 1000 Japanese during CW.  See you in the 2002 PA QSO Party as
W3FRC from K3ANS, the Frankford Radio Club's 75th anniversary and special
bonus station.  73, Bill, K3ANS>>
