ARRL contest Results
Submitted by va7ani on Sun, 03/08/2009 - 17:37Here is how we finished the ARRL DX contest:
229 QSOs
62 Multipliers
Grand score: 42594
The majority of the activity was on 20 meters with a few on 15 meters. The MUF hovered between 20 and 15 meters over the weekend permitting a few openings on 15 meters. Pretty good considering the solar cycle is so quiet (in our favor we didn't have to content with solar flares/magnetic storms to knock out the bands. The Yeasu FT101ZD and the FL2100 amp got a good workout.
