The CQ World Wide Contest was a lot of fun this weekend. I was only able to be on during the day Saturday and Sunday. I spent most of my time on 10 meters and made over 200 QSO's for 60 countries on that band. The other 3 bands (15, 20 and 40) were good for roughly another 100 contacts.

I worked several ATNO countries on 10m and by Sunday evening already had Liechtenstein and Isle of Man show as confirmed in LOTW. By this morning I had several other band fills confirmed on 10m for countries that I have previously confirmed on other bands.

10 meters was in good shape and there was enough activity that I logged a bunch of QSO's above 29.000.

Running with no amplifier and just a dipole meant that I missed some that I could hear like Andora, but the challenge was a lot of fun.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
