As expected my overall score was a little better than last year: about 50% more contacts, but one fewer band, and same number of bonus points (aux power, outdoor, remote). Anyway, results here. (may not play well with some browsers).
TLDR version: #117 out of 299 outdoor stations, and #7 of 49 QRP (low power) outdoor stations.
And that's not bad. The whole point of the exercise (apart from just having fun in the woods) is to practice versatility in communications by heavily encouraging operating across a broad swath of bands and modes (voice, Morse, digital text) under simulated emergency conditions. Despite lots of gaps – no Morse or satcomms, and a relatively low contact count – operating voice and digital across the three bands that were useable all added up.
Here are some previous posts on WFD 2020: Pre, quick take w/ pictures, and post-analysis. Use the search bar and "WFD" to find results from 2017, 2018, & 2019. Already looking forward to 2021!
