The day before the contest started, I had to do ice repairs on the 80
meter antenna. Appearantly, it had broken because of the 1/4 inch of ice
that had been on it. That's the first time I've had any weather related
damage to antennas.
I started the contest on 15 meters, and wasted the first 4 minutes CQ'ing
without a contact. I re-tuned on 20 meters to find that I was behind.
>From there I took off.
W5WMU and I worked, and exchanged numbers. I was 44 up on him, but I was
12 behind KA6SAR when I worked him. N5DO and I were between and 1 and 5
apart. Slugged it out on the low bands and moved mults when I could. Even
worked VE6JY and VE9AA on both modes. Also had a SM5 and DF9 come back to
CQ's on 80 meters. (After the contest I checked the cluster to find that
I'd also been spotted by DL0WW but I hadn't worked him)
Just regular thing tomorrow. The best hour was 50, but I concentrated on
multipliers knowing that I wasn't running any rate. Ended with 103
multipliers.
N5DO and I compared numbers at the end to find that I had 13 more
multipliers, but he had 102 more contacts. I did some math and found that
the difference was about 16 contacts.
Great contest, but I wish that Americans and DX were worth more; say like
4 points... (Oh yeah... 136 Ontario stations worked...)
