The morning after report …
I managed to put about 6 hours of BIC time in 3 different spurts and was really impressed with the conditions. It reminded me of “the good old days” (whatever that means). Here’s my results…

Score : 41,952 ARRL DX CW Contest Result
This year I decided that since I can’t stay awake at the key like I used to, I would just work as a single op/single band (one that is not very active when the sun goes down) entry. I chose 15 meters and put in about 9 hours BIC time. I decided to bail out just after I came across a big pile up with NH2DX at the bottom. When he wasn’t getting clobbered by the pileup he was fairly strong and readable. With a bit of luck I was able to wiggle around the pile with my calls for about 5 minutes until I snagged him.

CQWW WPX RTTY Results
I spent about 3-4 hours on Saturday at W1AN (KE1S) and made about a hundred Qs there and then from home on Sunday I put in about 5 hours before the Super Bowl began. I worked several club members, but when I tried to work NG1Mike something was distorting the signals and I don’t know if I worked him or not, but nonetheless it was good to hear Mike in the mix with his new amplifier!
Here is my summary… Off to shovel some snow…

It was really good to hear all the signals on 15 and 10. I was able to play for about 7 hours but stayed on 20, 15, and 10 since I was hearing signals from places I haven’t heard in quite a while; and my low wire for 40 and 80 really doesn’t play that well. No runnin’ n gunnin’ here… all S&P.
Only other member I heard was KS1J.

Once again, a minimal effort from K3IU. It was sure nice to have 15 open again. Every once in a while I would drop in the shack and work a few, then get on about with other things.

2020 IARU HF Contest
I spent a bit of time (4.1 hrs) in this contest as SOAB HP CW only. It is almost a no-brainer contest where you can work anybody on any band. Of course no band dupes allowed. What made it even more fun was that the bands were open! My 80/40 dipole(MFJ special) that I strung up was not very high and didn’t work too well at all. Hope others in the club got into the mix. Here are my results. I have not discovered a way in this form to change the text to a fixed pitch font so that it is more easily readable.[7/17/20 – and I was just reminded how to save preformatting using pre and /pre. The mind is a terrible thing to lose]

2020 WPX RTTY Results de K3IU
I certainly wasn’t full time in this contest putting only about 10 hours of BIC time. For me, 20 meters was the big band with little activity on 15 and none on 10. I did work VK9NK on 40 which was a big hit for me. Also worked other VKs and a couple KH6 on 20.
