This was my first IARU, and I found it entirely enjoyable. I got off
to
a rather rough start. The computer would not boot, and finally found one
of the memories had come loose. Things were going good, but found that
the
radio control interface was a battery eater, and had to rewire to get 12V
from the big p/s. I had planned to work all 24 hours, but the body and
mind gave out at 0300L, and a 3 hr nap got me going again.
It was nice to see that I had worked more foriegn zones than domestic.
And even managed to get 3 HQ stations split on 40. The fun was entirely
due to the friendliness of all the stations worked, and a special thanks
to
those that worked so hard to pull my sometimes weak signals out of the
muck
to make the Q. 40 and 80 were quite noisy here, but that only helps to
learn how to work what for me is a new radio:-)
I'll definitely work this one again next year, and we will see if more
sunspots can make any kind of difference in the score.
