I've got a homemade trap dipole in my attic, and I spent a couple of
hours Saturday afternoon/evening operating the 10m contest and I think I
got about 3500 points from 27 Q's. The band was amazingly quiet except
for all of the signals from all over. The highlight for was working a
pair of ZL's. I'd never had the occasion to work anyone in New Zealand
before. The cool part was this was more than an hour after it had
gotten full dark.
10m was hotter than a $2 pistol all weekend. Amazing.

I had a great time working the contest this past weekend, while I
didn't put in the time (maybe 2-3 hours tops) I was able to make about
20 or so contacts on my 12 dollar di-pole! It was fun, and sometimes
challenging. Sometimes it was so busy I couldn't make out the person
calling CQ, just too many people calling, like 100's in a room talking
at the same time... but fun..
I haven't figured out 3830 yet, so no scores, and this also prompted
me to get my LoTW setup as well... I am waiting for my post card with
my pw.... it's a journey... :)
Contests like this, with great conditions, keep me interested in this
hobby.... for one day I will feel confident enough to take the general
and pass it. mean while I will play in the small 10M space I am
allotted for Tech and enjoy the fun.
Thanks,
