Rick,
Sometimes it's not the "where" as much as the "when". You may not be
big on contests, but the big international contests bring the DX out of
the woodwork. You can go up on 20 any day and work all the Germans and
Italians you want, but when that DX contest is running, that is when
you can grab that guy from Upper Slobovia that only fires up the rig a
few times a year.
Also a few days before any big contest, lots of folks are giving the
station a final shake down. Very common for a team to go to a DX
location to run the contest and in the days just before it starts they
will work a multitude of stations while making sure the station and
logging software are working well.
Anyway, you have done well considering the limitations of antenna,
experience, and propagation.
73, Steve KW3A
