This contest runs from Saturday at 12:00 CST to Sunday 5:59 CST. I like RTTY contests and the bands in the far north were in fairly good shape all weekend. My antennas cover 40m through 10m very well and also 160m and 80m although lots of tuning because of narrow bandwidth especially on 80m.
I operated on and off Saturday till around supper time and very little after dark. There wasn't much DX but stateside stations were abundant especially on 10m which I started the contest operating on before eventually switching to 15m,20m and around sunset 40m before calling it a day. I quit Saturday with 100 QSO's in the log.
I was up before sunrise Sunday and started operating on 40m and added around 20 Q's before breakfast. I continued during the morning and early afternoon slowly switching bands as they opened during daylight hours and eventually ended participation with 187 Q's for a point total of 10,742 before log checking.
This was a fun contest with lots of stations to chase and I feel my station did okay considering I was using a ground mounted vertical for all bands except 10m.
