07/11/2005 | K0AWU This contest not only proved to be a lot of fun, but ended up being the best contest score I have had since I started to keep score. Things around here were slow and steady from the "starting gun". Since we had almost no 6m Es, I feared for a while that perhaps the end result was going to be below previous June contests. Then the Sunday afternoon AU popped in and I had a BLAST! The AU was not as localized as Es often is, and allowed great variety in grids. In raw numbers, 33% of my contacts could be traced back to the AU, all on 2 and 6 meters. (90Qs out of 267 total). The real highlight for me was not only a personal high total score, but also the a contest high number of 2m contacts and grids (85-41).

Thanks to all that looked north into EN37ed for the contest.
