2007 CQ World Wide DX Contest
I know it's at the bottom of the solar cycle but something unexpected happened.Was monitoring ten meter usb when propagation to South America was just right to make many contacts.Over the last two day's made over firty confirmed contacts.My favorite was the Galapagos Islands that was a stand up and cheer moment.Good radio wave propagation at the right time can bring some amazing fun results.Heard nothing on six meter (magic band) looking forward a couple year's for more sunspot's.During the past solar cycle had a few USA contacts best was to Japan.Was late getting on the band last cycle.I'am more prepared for the cycle 24.
