QXQ: Started on 20m at exactly 0000Z, but the bottom dropped out at at 0045Z.
The low dipole worked OK on 40m but ran out of guys to work begging was not as
productive as during NAQP. You know 20m is not the band when RW0MM is the
loudest signal so I thought I'd try 80m at 0220Z. The 40m dipole still really
doesn't work well on 80M, the rate hit single digits and I ran out enthusiasm
at 0330Z. Heck, its only a Phone contest.
Best last 10 min. was 15 Qs or 90 Q/hr @ 0220Z. Best hour was 57 Qs ended
0143. I still can't CQ. The sigs were weak on 20 and 40 so I missed a lot of
right coast mults, too.
No neighbors interrupted me, so I guess they were away, or the filters I gave
them got installed and worked.
K7RAT / Bert ... Ratbert? Who was that man?

QXQ: Now THAT is a contest! I am humbled by those with 350 Qs and 46 mults
and my hat is off to you.
I started driving up from Bakersfield at 1900Z and arrived in the San Jose
shack at 2330Z. I spent a few minutes with the PED CT simulator. I still was
flat at 0000Z as the frenzy started so I began in S&P. I couldn't get a
response for three whole minutes! Got TR in the wrong mode (should 'a used the
TR simulator) and screwed up the exchange with 'ZD Randy at 0005Z. Didn't get
"in the groove" until 0015Z.
Best 10 min. rate was 14 Qs or 84/hr ended 0030Z. Best hour rate was 62 Qs
ended 0104Z. I gotta get a real 80m antenna tho', 'cause last hour was 31 Qs
and only 3 were on 80m. Honest N6NT refused to log Q #179 at 0400Z saying "sri
Tony, its over..." or it could 'a been 4 (good for you, Bruce). One radio is
all I can handle tho'.
Once again there were no knocks on the door so all told it was an enjoyable
outing.
I probably ought to give this one a try from a station with decent antennas
next time.
See y'all in ARRL CW from N6RadioOakley.
