Soap:
Started on 20m and had good rate while looking at 15m every 10 minutes or
so..
15m qs were difficult on the west coast,and after hearing VZL and others
running on 15m,I decided that the west coast did not have an advantage this
year .At this point I went back to 20 and stayed there for 492 qs.
Looked at 10m often with no luck except for locals.Can't remember another
contest with only 1 mult on 10m.
Went to 40 at 0200 even though I had a 100+ rate on 20m..time was running out
with no mults on 40-160m. Had a 60 q hour then tried 80..
Had a difficult time on 80..heard lots of mults but they could not hear
me..wondered if my antenna was still there.
Heard K7C on 160 calling cq for a long time..was REAL LOUD ,but not many
takers..where were all the western state mults??
Had alot of fun competing against my own team,as AB6FO,WA7BNM,KN6DV,and N6HC
are tough competitors.
