Please upload your WAE SSB Results here if you worked the contest.
Please use Meriden ARC as your club for the log. We need three logs to show in the results.

Here are my results for the, (disappointing) weekend. The bands were not very good. 15 never opened and of course 10 did not either. 20 meters was "poor" both days, worse Sunday than Saturday. I had a few good runs on Saturday, not much to write home or here about on Sunday, in fact by about 3 PM Sunday the contacts were few and far between. At least three times this weekend I gave away all my QTC for a clean log just in case. I quit about 3 PM and gave away the last 6 QTC and ended up with a clean log. I think this was probably the worst year for me contact wise. Only 9 contacts on 40 meters but I did not expect much there. Signal strength was poor on 20 meters. The usual loud contest stations were there, but mostly the stations calling in were just above the noise floor. With a solar flux of 69 and A of 5 and K of 1 I guess that is what you could expect. I guess I can just hope that everyone else experienced the same poor conditions that I did so my score falls in the norm. Lets hope things improve in two weeks for the CQ SSB World Wide Contest.

1 Mult - 2.9 Q's
And you can see here that without the QTC my score would have halved to 14,112 Points. This is why this set of contests have always been my favorite.
