G2K – ARRL DX Phone contest – March 2022

I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked with this contest with almost all my operation focused on the Sunday. A total of just 260 QSO of which exactly half were on 15m (the band I had decided to focus on) with rest split: 80m (7), 40m (35), 20m (88). 36 US States/Canadian Provinces worked on 15m.
