I operated three contests this weekend, which kept me somewhat busy. They ranged from extremely boring to extremely fun. They were:
10-10 Winter SSB Contest FOC Marathon North American Sprint CW Results: 10-10 Contest Summary Sheet Start Date : 2018-02-03 CallSign Used : N5XZ Operator(s) : N5XZ Operator Category : SINGLE-OP Assisted Category : ASSISTED Band : ALL Power : HIGH Mode : SSB Default Exchange : AL TX 4530 Gridsquare : EL29CO Country : UNITED STATES ARRL Section : STX Club/Team : Houston SHOT Software : N1MM Logger+ 1.0.7026.0 Band QSOs Pts Mem Pt/Q 28 49 88 39 1.8 Total 49 88 39 1.8 Score : 88 Horrible, horrible band conditions. Almost no prop. I only worked 4 stations out of the Houston area. Only spent 4 hours on this contest. Ten meters is my favorite band.when there is propagation. This was awful!
