Absolutely one of the most enjoyable contests of the year and a great way to get ready for the cold winter months to come.
I still have not gotten all 80 sections (where oh where is that darn NT?} but I worked 79 this year as opposed to the usual 77-78 the previous years. Working with the Elecraft K2 at 5 watts I was happy with the 451 Q's and 79 sections all search and pounce.
80 meters stayed open and pretty active when 20 meters shut down so the load was spread fairly evenly from 80-20 meters with 80 being the most effective for the most Q's.
With this much fun the top band contest may prove to be great chance to flex that K2 5 watt muscle a bit. -- N8BB
