I just dabbled off and on over the 48 hours while most other things took priority. The logger says I had about 10 hours of “ON” time. Like others, 15m was the hot band; however, I was running Europeans on 20M at 0430L for a while on Sunday morning. Otherwise it was all S&P here.
I think a total of four guys participated in this one (Andy’s is on 3830)?
The June VHF party is this weekend and the next big contest (other than the non-contest Field Day) is IARU in July 14th.
“Spent intermittent time on this on Saturday and Sunday. Pat was right about 15. It was open all day long and into the evening. I found basically nothing on 10 and 80 and 20 meters was not very good until Sunday afternoon when signals finally came up. Worked in between trips to the Carousel at Crescent Park, walks on the Bike Path, and Parcheesi with the grand-daughter.
This was a fun one since everyone can work every one and the prefixes are endless.
Pat was the only one I worked from the club. I was SOAB LP assisted but to tell you the truth I got most of my Q’s calling CQ and found that many of the spots were phantoms or not workable. This was especially true for 10. I would take a look at the spots for 10 and say “Hey maybe I should go up there” and once there it was the usual handful of PY’s and LU’s.
Next contest is IARU Radiosport but that one I will definitely be sitting out.
I didn’t play much in this one. Too much else going on. I’m almost embarressed to post my score. I’ll get over it.
