I operated in the CQWW-CW contest last weekend, from ZL6QH.
The 10 m stats make for interesting reading...here are some
figures:
ZL6QH CQ WORLD WIDE DX CONTEST Multi Multi 1 Dec 2003 0000z
Number of 28 MHz QSOs, by continent:
North America CW 1526
South America CW 5
Europe CW 187
Asia CW 503
Africa CW 2
Oceania CW 38
The last European station worked (Italy) was at 01:39 local time...almost
2 hours past local midnight.
The band would open half an hour after sunrise (less than five hours later)
with 10 over 9 signals from the US East Coast.
During the day, 28 MHz was awash with signals from W and JA.
Not bad, for a dead band :-)
Wilbert, ZL2BSJ
