Didn’t plan to operate very much, but once I got started it was too much fun. Pulled up the all time records for W1 and kept operating to pass the next score on the list. Ended up with a personal high score for WPX RTTY!
Only heard one signal on 10m all weekend. LU7HN was calling CQ, but couldn’t hear me.
15m was very good. Suprised to hear how loud the JAs were on Sunday evening!
Great to see so much activity and the level of operating keeps getting better and better.
My best rate ever. Had 146 QSOs in 60 minutes. Rates really went up once I got really proficient at SO2R and could run on two bands at the same time.
