I never participate in the November SS for the points since I don't really have the skill or patience to hang in there for long periods; I'm only interested in trying for a clean sweep each year. In the past ten years I have only participated in the p... Read More

My first CW sweepstakes and boy was it fun. The bands were remarkably open for the bottom of the solar cycle. Money bands for me were 80 and 40, but also worked 15 and 20. 20 was so crowded, I had trouble with strong nearby sigs in the passband that... Read More

Conditions were much better than expected. I had several good runs on 15 meters though I expected that band to be marginal, at best. That was good because it took some of the heat off of 20 meters. Now, let's hope the open-band gods keep smiling for SS... Read More
