Comments:
Everything in the station worked perfectly. Conditions at the start were excellent. Knew I wasn’t motivated to do a full effort so played until I would get tired or bored and then go do other stuff. Conditions on day 2 were awful.
Watched lots of auto racing.
Worked DR4A as the only Eu on 160. Not much heard on 10m. Worked a UN7 and a 4X on 15m, but not much Europe.
No meters like 20 and 40 meters in this contest.
Assisted didn’t offer much advantage. Was usually running and didn’t have time to chase mults. Probably wouldn’t hurt to combine SO and SOA for WPX.
Thanks to all for the QSOs.
