November 5 - Wednesday 17:00 - Received the QSL cards from the printers - wow - there is a lot! I am starting to fill out the cards. Meaghan, my daughter and scribe, will be back from Vegas on Monday and will start with filling out the cards for those that have sent me a QSL card. October 17 - Friday 17:00 - Pretty much cleaned up the logs - did the stats you see below. Some of them were completed on the Thursday night, not Wednesday, but no big deal. I've received about 75 QSL cards so far. I've done up my third draft of the QSL card I will be sending out. Please see here for more info. We have a big emergency exercise scheduled for Saturday a.m. (TopHat). Plan on being done by noon, and then a race to the ferry terminal to try and catch the 1:20 p.m. ferry to Gibsons. Will be helping my bro out with building his house. October 15 - Wednesday 22:00 - Cleaning up the logs - making sure they are as clean as I can make them. Here is the data that I have verified so far - 4,200 QSO's. 20 Meters was so good to me, that I barely worked anything else. Here is a summary by band that I did work. I will try and work on where I had really good signal reports - as many of the reports I received were well above 5 x 9. The actual number of contacts dropped to 4200 from 4201, as I had counted the header on the first go around.
I've received a large number of QSL cards already. There were about 12 when I got home, and about another 40 showed up in the mail yesterday. We haven't checked today. I've been working on completing the draft of the QSL card - and have been talking to Fred (VE7IO) about printing the cards - he is looking for pricing for me. I will be making the QSL cards a priority. I tried to work as many mobile, portable and QRP stations as I could find. Here is my final count.
I was also impressed with the signal reports the station received, and the comments from so many of you on the quality and strength of the station's signal. I did a little analysis of the log, and came up with the following:
Of the 4200 contacts logged, 2528 gave me a 5/9 signal report. Of those 2528 reports, 586 were 10 over, etc. There were a total of 92 DXCC entities:
