I thought conditions were pretty good. Doubled my numbers on 80m and
160m
with the same antenna as last year but with the ends higher up. Three
more contacts on 10m this year than last. Improvements on other bands as
well. This one was lots of fun, except:
My friend, Mr. Fatigue, visited on Sunday morning and I found myself
trying
to work EU on 20m with my 10/15m quad pointed on Asia. The quad is mounted
at right angles to the yagis. Switched antennas and bands and then switched
bands but not antennas and not bands. Gentlemen, THIS DOESN'T WORK!
The new callsign does work. Only a couple of stations thought I was
AA2U.
Sort of keeps everyone on their toes. Now if I could just run enough coax
to K2SG's house and use his 80m vertical while he is on 40m....
73 es see many of you in SSB.

CWMAN...I'D RATHER WORK CW!!!
The ham formerly known as WA0QOA
p.s. CT says 32.6 hours on. I'd say closer to 36 hours on.
