ARRL DX contest a success
Last weekend was the ARRL DX Contest. As I'm not a big gun with a tower and a beam, I don't get real competitive on the DX contests. But I had some free time this weekend and operated mostly early morning (around sunrise) and late afternoon/early evening (around sunset.) While 15 meters never really opened up here, I made a lot of contacts on 20 and da good number on 40 and 80. I even managed to snag a couple of new countries, and several new ones on 80 meters. I quit when I hit 300 contacts. I had fun. That's what counts.
