10m constest

So if I make one Q on 10m this weekend do I win? I seem to be the only one
on the band from where I'm sitting.

Oh shoot. That means if I make one Q it will be a tie for first. :-)

Its pretty bleak right now, and for most of the day. Yesterday evening
there was a nice opening from here in Colorado to Texas, Calif and the
Northwest states around 0200 UTC. I worked 50 stations in a little over an
hour, which is a very good rate for me. I expected more of the same today,
but boy was I wrong! Spotty and weak openings this morning to Carribean and
South America, but only worked 4 DX stations and maybe 4 or 5 more stateside
ones. Maybe this evening or tomorrow will be better, but overall this one
has been quite disappointing so far.

Re: 10m constest

This morning there were a bunch of east coast stations (NJ, PA, VA,
MD, NC, GA) booming in to the Seattle area, much to my suprise. I
never heard anything on 10 during the CQWW a few weeks ago. I made
15 contacts on CW in as many minutes, but didn't have time to work
the contest seriously.

Re: 10m constest

10 was great up until about 30 mins ago. Then it closed up tight. Only
thing I can hear now are birdies from the computers in the room.
Worked a whole bunch of stations. Found that if you did not work em
when you heard em, they would be really weak a few minutes later. Lots
of really good ears on these guys today - they would keep at it until
they got it. I was really impressed.

Ended up with 23/13/1196 points

Re: 10m constest

Ran my K2 @ 5W for 3 hours...Conditions were great to the West and south.
Not a single VE heard. No NY. Only W1's were CT. But had a ball.

Ended up with 8190 points for Mixed Mode QRP entry from NY.

How many other's got on for the 10M contest with their Elecrafts?

In reply to this post by Randy Rathbun NV0U

Out here in Maryland 10 was in pretty good shape the whole
weekend. During daylight it was open to somewhere both Sat & Sun. I
must have worked everyone in both AZ and MN. Never did hear anyone
in New England or Canada. There were also nice morning openings into
the Caribbean and South America. PJ2T had QSO numbers close to 2000
when I finally lost him late Sunday afternoon. For as good as the
band seemed here, I was surprised there was not more activity.

I ended up with 180 QSOs and 62 multipliers in a part time effort for
35,216 points.
