[Cwo] Initial Impressions after the first two sessions

[D Faklis]

Pete,

Yes, participation from across the pond has been excellent.  There are likely several contributing factors, and Nodir EY8MM played a key role in promoting the event in Russia and Ukraine.  I really appreciate his efforts for sure.

I heard a few JA here in Session 1, but my low dipoles and low power don't stand a chance.  Rob did a great job bringing in JA ops; I also saw many spots this morning on 40 and 80.

The logs are coming in nicely!  See you in Session 3,

73, Dean, NW2K

 I’m blown away by the
 participation coming from Europe and Russia judging by some
 of the numbers I received in the 12z session.  Even in
 the 00z session there were a bunch of EU folks playing and
 that’s fantastic considering the time over
 there.  I have yet to work or even
 hear a single JA.  I know BA4TB was on in the 00z
 session but very frustrated by the bad conditions.  He
 told me he only worked 3 participants.  I saw him
 spotted but no signal at all.  JT1CD was active in both
 sessions.  I heard him in the 12z session but he
 couldn’t hear me.  Let’s hope conditions
 improve for the last go round.  As I posted on CWops, a saw a
 bunch of calls being misread by RBN which I figured out was
 a result of insufficient spacing in the CQ message between
 CWO and the call so CQ CWO K6RB got spotted (only a
 bazillion times) as OK6RB.  Ditto on a number of
 others.  This would suggest Dean has a special job to
 keep an eye out for those busted entries in logs.  
  Pete, W1RM
