Test
Thanks Ed. Hopefully the third time is the charm.
Here are my results. The conditions were pretty rotten on Friday and Saturday morning due to the CME this week. EU stations were weak and watery. So apparently they were spending their time working each other because I couldn’t grab their attention!. I heard some pretty high serial numbers nonetheless so the weekend wasn’t a complete wash out for everyone. But here I limited my time since my LP station wasn’t getting through to most EUs until Saturday afternoon and by then I had kinda lost interest.
I heard Bill,W1WBB.

Concur with Jim KS1J – mostly lousy conditions this year, esp. early, and in the last 2 hrs as well unfortunately. Thus, it’s mostly a CW (and Eurocentric) event — just look at the USA MultiOp & Mixed-mode CW to SSB QSO ratios!
So I stuck to 20m CW…short operating spurts as a SOSB LP op with many trips in/out of shack (and very occasional chase of new mult on SSB) kept me interested.
The very nice opening somehow to central Asia on 20m for an hour (02-03Z) was a highlight though…about 20 Q’s with Zone 17 & 18 during that period included many new Ru Oblasts. UA0OD from rare BU just north of Mongolia was worked for an all-time new Oblast.
The big penalty in this event of you losing QSO pts when the other station miscopies your exchange, plus the weaker sigs this weekend, ensured I never sent my ser # until my call was correctly copied and sent back to me while in S&P mode. Serial # was often given a double repeat from me on return to the many weak signal stations.

Low power single-band effort (no amp) – stayed on 20m due to poor propagation
condx and limited time. But no SOSB *LP* categories ;^( Why??
55 Russian QSOs (10 pt); 118 Non-Ru/outside NA (5 pt); 13 NA/non-US (3 pt); 20 USA (2 pt)… 1219 total QSO pts.
Surprisingly nice polar opening (considering disturbed condx/high K-index) into
UA9 and UA0 Sat eve, esp. between 02-03Z. Worked 21 Zone 17/18/19 stations!
Lousy propagation meant weaker sigs from Ru, and DX and oblasts were hard to come by this year. First 4+ hours always a struggle in RDXC from here with Eu beams pointed east and Ru sigs not yet strong. Took breaks and things picked up after 1730Z.

A not great day sitting in W1AN’s station. Only 20 QSOs. Hopefully better luck at the WPX SSB!
