12/15/2009 | NP3CW This year during the 10 Meter Contest the propagation was horrible from my area here in Puerto Rico.Made my first contact with local stations after 12 hours of the beginning of the event. A lot of QRN
for most of the time.

Made the first DX QSO after 15 hours with stations in South America
mostly from LU,CE,CX,PY and TI.

Last year made 4th Place World on this contest on my category SOLP Mixed but this time made only 56 contacts.I think this is my lowest
score on this contest in over 17 yrs of contesting.

Half an hour before ending the contest I was lucky to make the the
first QSO with K1KNQ in Florida. After that made 7 contacts with
stations in Florida. Only one multiplier from North America, hi,hi...

Hope for better propagation on December 2010.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010 to all.
