CQ WW Contest

The past weekend was the CQ WW Contest in SSB.

The days before the 10M band was very much open,so hoping that also during the contest this was going to happen...

And we where lucky...10 Meters was very much open now as well.

My goal was to get more points and QSO's then in 2008.That year i had just a little under 50.000 points.I wasn't very long active that year,so this year i planned to be longer active.

Saterday the propagation on 10M was better then sundays,but still stations could be worked.

Also 20M was wide open.Mostly my s-meter was above S9....

Some nice calls worked:

On 10M: OT5A,P33W,5B8AD,YC9MDX,9K2HN,SU1KM,ZS9X,3DA0WW,HZ1PS,PW5G,LT1F,6W1RY,

ZP8VAO,A47RS,4U1ITU,EE9K,ZS4U,JY5CC,5F8RU,C31CT.

On 20M:

FS/K1XM,4U1UN,4U1ITU,ZY2C,DP1POL,5R8FU,HC8A,C31CA,VK8PDX,PJ4K,7Z1SJ,A73A,

3DA0WW,HT2N,9Y4D,SU1KM,8P5A,HB0/HB9AON,TO7A.

On 40M:

HK1KXA,EE9Z,VP5T,OY3AA,V26B,VP5DX,GJ2A,4U1ITU,TF3CW.

My results:

Total QSO's: 516

Total points: 201.238

10 Meters open!!

The 10 meter band was wide open in the past 5 days.
Maybe it had to do with the new sunspots or sporadic E openings...
But we are very happy with this.
Worked on 23 Okt the following stations:

Z21BC,LY1PM,ZD7FT,4X4DZ,E21EIC,4Z4DX,PD1DL,CU2AF,CN8SG,CU2KI,
A41MX,CT9/DL6LB,V51AS,JY4CI,4X/K2LS,UN7AB,5B4AHY.

We where hoping that also during the big CQ WW Contest the prop was like this....
