CQ WW WPX SSB 2016

[N1API]

Well here is a midday report from me. I'm taking a soda break.

I got 7 hours 15 minutes in and off time is 11 hours 5 minutes so far.

Sitting at 241 contacts with 239 multis. I'm just working multis so far I've got one dupe and two clinkers in there, whoops. When the multis start to fall off will start grabbing the other stations. Just doing search and pounce.

20 is the money band so far with 122 contacts and 121 multis, 15 just behind with 107 contacts and 106 multis. 10 meters is open wit just 12 and 12 but I could have made more if I worked the non multi stations. No real surprises, I guess the VK0 is sticking to CW and not contest bands to stay out of the fray, I don't blame him, (them). 20 meters was nice last night I put 82 QSOs in the log all multis, there were a couple of 15 meter Q's but mostly 20 meters open into South and Central America, US, Canada, and a couple of strong Asian Russia stations and I think on Hawaii, which may have been on 15.

So back to 20, Europe should be coming in there with 15 closing to EU. Then maybe back to 15 to see if the JAs are in. And a DVD and Johnny Carson rerun for relaxation, (if I can keep my eyes open) tonight.

Hope you're all getting some time in for fun. Heard one other club member on 20 on my way through.
