Spent a few hours playing in the 2015 CQ WW contest. Didn't play nearly as long as I did a couple years ago.
10m was pretty active, and that's where I ended up spending most of my time tuning around. 10m was good for getting to EU early in the day, and then into South America mid to late afternoon. Late afternoon/early evening when 10m started fading out was when I started hearing stations across the Pacific. Grabbed a few contacts on 20m when 10m died out, and snagged a contact on 40m toward the end of the contest just to cover that end of the spectrum.
Even though the number of QSOs and my score didn't match what I did in 2013, still had a few good highlights this year.
- JA7OWD (Japan) on 10m
- VK2GGC (Australia) on 10m
- KL7RA (Alaska) on 20m
- TF2LL (Iceland) on 20m
- KG4EM (Guantanamo Bay) on 20m
109 QSOs across 3 bands this year. I'm happy with that.
