20 meters again was the money band. 15 meters has not performed well today only 20 QSOs there. I did give away 22 QTCs on 15 though. Maybe it will open tomorrow.
20 meters even though it was open still not the band it should be. The big guns are always strong but the average contest station sometimes hard to copy. I did end up with 138 Qs on 20 and 136 QTCs given away. Picked a few spots to call CQ. But surprising enough even though 20 and 15 were not in the greatest shape, I was hearing India, Indonesia, Mongolia and other Asian stations well into late morning especially on 20 meters. I was surprised to hear Indonesia on 15 meters early morning, its usually something you hear in the evening over the North Pole, but they were there this morning on both bands. In fact I was calling CQ on 20 and had to move because of QRM from a loud station calling next me, it was a station from Indonesia. I think the first time I can say that I was QRMed bu and Indonesian station!
20 Meters seemed to die just after dark, the big guns are still there it seems but I've work all of them already, we'll see what tomorrow brings. Off to watch a little of METS game then put a Blu-ray in.
BTW I did hear W1NRG working a station I think it was contact 95, who was on the mic?
