Playing in WPX

 Well,

This weekend is the grand-daddy of all CW contests - the WPX CW test. 

There are many words to describe the bands while this test is happening, my preference would be bonkers. There is CW everywhere - who says this mode isn't popular?

Here's a snapshot from 20M during the test:

I've been having nothing more than a play during some free time, 8.5 hours into the test I was already receiving serial numbers over 1100 - so thats an astonishing run rate from som stations - I wonder if this is really "amateur" radio?

Anyhow, after a few hours play, here is my log as a map:

This tells me that despite my (far from optimal) location, my HF station gets out OK. 

I've been specifically looking for VU7T on Lakshadweep Islands but so far haven't heard the station strong enough to try working him.

Fun, don't you think?
