This contest started at 0000 UTC December 11- Friday night at 6 pm CST. I listened for a while but no signals heard , not even any local ground wave so turned off radio till Saturday. The next day wasn't much better with one DX and several local stations but Sunday morning some signals started breaking thru so I logged a few till Church time and by time I was able to get back in the shack later afternoon, only little whispers were heard in the background of the static.
When 10m propagation is good this contest is a hoot! This year either I was not in the shack or no major openings happened during most of My listening time. The small opening on the voice section of 10m wasn't great in the far north. I did tune down to the CW band during the opening and more signals were heard. Oh well- I entered as SSB only non- assisted which is My normal entry. I mainly wanted to submit a log for the contest group I'm a member of which they were trying to break an old log submitted total. I haven't heard if we bypassed the old record.
