Comments:
In general I was once agn disapointed in cndx, had expected more give all the
recent hype on
cycle 23 and better SF etc.......Token 10m Qso's 15M not much
better DX wise. When you don't hear a single JA on 15m from here in Oregon you
know that DX cndx
not very good......especially when you hear others East and South wking EU's
at will on 15m.
20M once agn the money band.....w/o 20m there would not be much to get up for
!! Expected
more out of 40 especially to EU but no dice...pretty good JA count
tho.......80M biggest disapointment.
No JA and very little other DX to boot. Even short on states to wk as well.
My 80m amtenna system
my not be wking very well?? .
WY, VT, MT, SD and ND in short supply for me......1000+ qso's but none with
these states. Only
able to handle 33 hours due to lack of actionm......mebbe next year ! Did lose
2 hours to fix arcing
loading caps in old Alpha ampl, tough fix. Amps in that price range shud have
Vac Variables......
After its all said and done I did do better than last year so gess I shud be
happy with that !!
Busted my butt to get two stns wking with WF!B netwk setup but ran out time at
2355Z after
getting every thing wking but the ntwk bwtn the two pc's......wud have been fun
and made
for more action if netwk had wked......I never have much getting pc crap sorted
out especially
when under time pressure......poor planning on my part.....did use second pc to
constanly display
Grayline SW so all was not lost.
