CQWW WPX Contest, SSB Call: SJ2W Operator(s): SM2WMV Station: SJ2W Class: SOSB20 HP QTH: Da Traesk Operating Time (hrs): 36 Radios: SO2R Summary: Band QSOs ------------ 160: 80: 40: 20: 3888 15: 10: ------------ Total: 3888 Prefixes = 1319 Total Score = 10,807,886 Club: Worldwide Young Contesters Comments: Goal for the contest was to see if I could get close to the EU record. It seems like I have passed it and if I have not been a too big lid I should pass log check. The contest was fun, Saturday was amazing and it felt like very high activity from US, maybe because of the Easter holidays? However Sunday was horrible, barely got any propagations towards US, just sporadic ones where the aurora let through the signals. All east coast worked on Sunday was via skew path near South America. Kind of wish I had read the prognosis and maybe wouldn't have taken half of the off-time on Saturday and instead more on Sunday. Thanks for the QSOs!
