Wow Al nice score.
My Tale Of Woe: I had to go play Band (as in Maloney High School Band Boosters) Saturday.
Not before I woke up and realized that 10M, 15M, 20M were wide open.
I seriously considered playing hookey from my Vocational Responsibilities Saturday!
About your skewed DX: Could it be that you were enjoying Long Path Propagation? Or maybe that's what you were saying all along.
Saturday & Sunday, If I could hear him, I worked him (with two exceptions) even with QRM and a wire antenna. And Boy-O-Boy was there a LOT of QRM!! I used those Kenwood Filters, Notch and Sliding IF to the max!!
Made the VX stations a few times, Australia and Guam, some other Islands I never knew existed...
Then as Sunday wore on, started making multipliers.
I heard RI1ANC and the American Station at the South Pole too but with the wire, I couldn't reach him.
Only made 20000 points with my limited mic time but man, what a gas! I think I heard you too Al. At least once.
I hope Sweepstakes are similar. Taking time out for that one!
