Comments: This was my first 1,000 q DX contest. The condx were not good,
but I still had a lot of fun. I live along a busy street in a populated area
and I have a lot of noise. The noise is the worst when the antennas are
pointed parallel to the street, which just happens to be the heading for JA.
I missed several stations calling me on all bands due to this problem.
Dont have a 160m ant yet, and was only able to work 2 XE's and a KH6. My
father and I tried to fix our 6 ele 10 m ant last weekend, but we were
unsuccesful. But 10 never did open up. Only worked 2 LU's, and ZD8Z. I
think my low mult total is due to the fact that I cant go in the low part of
the band, but that will change by next year. Only worked one all time new
country, GJ.
Highlights: Being called by XU2FB and XU6WV on 40m. Being called by XX9TR
and 9M2OM on 40 & 80m, and working 10 BV's on 40 m.
