May 26th Results

The third session of the Worldwide Sideband Activity contest was both fun and competitive with many hams on the bands. Tough QRM with rag chewers and other contesters as well as big S7 to S9+ static crashes from thunderstorms on the East Coast made it difficult to copy people on the low bands. However, some contesters pulled their ears together and worked through the tough conditions to pull out some very good scores! Not as much SO2R contesting this week, but it seemed that people who used one radio (SO2V as well) seemed to get good results on the low bands. After the contest we found that the bands died very suddenly, a good sign of many people participating in our contest!
