Comments:
Reduced plans from SOAB to SB10. YL says, too many straight 48h weekends are unhealthy. She may be right, at least when it comes to phone.
Plans included not to get up early in the mornings to check for LP openings. Therefore probably missed a few VE6´s.
With crowded bands in mind I settled down early between 28320-330 both days. Freq fights were as bad as ever, even asked K4BAI to tell a YT6 to move down. Sri for that, I really was upset a few times.
Another "low" was CT (w/ DVP board) continously crashing after about 1300 Q's during the great late Saturday W6 piles. On-the-air suggestions ranged from "Reboot!" to "Get NA!" and were fun listening. I decided to continue paperlogging and debug the problem when the opening is over. The rate sure drove me close to my writing limits!
I swapped notes with a few EU´s before the band opened on Sunday. DF9ZP was ahead with abt 100 Q's and 1 Prov. I was still missing VY2SS and started looking for him with the 2nd VFO. I believe I heard him calling other stations one time, but not running.
Luckily, my freq remained quite clear most of the afternoon and I was starting to hear some pretty weak ones. One time I had 9ZP stopping by while looking for a better freq. By that time I had caught up by 50 Q's and at the end our scores really were head-to-head.
Another great 10m shootout! |
