Comments : From above AB2E Scores
Rig : FTDX-9000D/OM Power 2000A+ amp Antennas : 160m Inverted L over 100ft tree 80m dipole @ 90ft 40m dipole @ 85ft 10m,15m,20m Force 12 C3S tribander @ 52ft on AB-577 military mast Low band RX ant - HiZ4 29 hours in the chair but it seemed like more. Wow, what amazing fun! "Ain't no meters like 10meters" as the saying goes! Lifetime high score from home on my modest station. ARRL DX CW personal milestones - highest number QSOs (over 2000), highest number mults (over 400), highest score. More than doubled my score from last year, thanks to 10m being wide open both days - over 700Qs on 10m, and almost made DXCC on that band. Had a great time filling the log with JA's on 15m late Sunday afternoon (even a bunch of 100W stations are in the log). Some great mults were on the air. Just after midnight Friday, I checked 20m and it was wide open to EU, I ran EU there from 0500 to 1000UTC, took a 30min nap, then back in for the start of the high band runs. I was pleased with the HiZ4 on 160 this time, some stations in EU were noticeably stronger. Also the FTDX-9000D APF works amazingly well on boosting signals out of the noise. CU in 2 weeks for ARRL SSB, and next weekend for CQ 160 SSB! Thanks to all my dx friends for the QSOs! Over 25 stations were worked on all 6 bands, and well over 150 more on 5 bands. 73 Darrell AB2E Contest : ARRLDXCW Band QSOs Pts Cty Pt/Q 1.8 34 102 29 3.0 3.5 156 468 56 3.0 7 193 579 75 3.0 14 445 1335 82 3.0 21 463 1389 90 3.0 28 735 2205 96 3.0 Total 2026 6078 428 3.0 Score: 2,601,384 1 Mult = 4.7 Q's "Wow, what great rates, and seemed like a band was runnable most of the time. Had some good S&P bandmap sweeps when the rate slowed down on CQing, also with high rates. Missed P44W on 160, saw him called out but could not hear him. Worked ZP5AA on 4 bands, missed 80 & 160 (thanks Dale N3BNA)." 73 Darrell AB2E
