[SFDXA] More open slots

[Sebastian, W4AS]

I’ve been on 10 and 12 meter phone for the last few days, and it sure has been a lot of fun.

Here are some of the highlights of my 700+ QSOs so far:

An HB9 station who told me I was his third QSO - ever! 
A stateside station who told me I was his first contact after being off the air for 12 years;
Several QRP stations with dipoles or verticals who were good copy even with QSB;
I don’t know what the UK stations are running in their mobiles but they sure are strong;
At least 3 stations who told me they had already worked all the /4 stations on every band;
Two stations told me I was the last band they needed;
Several who said “Hi Dan”, who thought I was K1TO - I found that flattering, considering that I’m only running 100 watts and a tri-bander.

And finally, I worked VA3DEC.  Well he happens to be the only Sebastian in over 30 years of being on the air that I’ve worked.

While the amount of stations calling has gone down from the start, there are still lots of QSOs to be made.  I can’t imagine how Pete has been able to coordinate all of this while being on the air and also running in a contest.
