North Texas Contest Club
Unlimited = 100w with packet (yes, I'm lazy)
I was having fun on 15M while everyone else was on 10M? I guess my 10M
shunt-fed tower arrangement wasn't effective - uh, duh!
First three Q's were KH7R, VY1JA and VO1MP then Q #104 was KP2D, whew!
After 78 sections logged, it took me 9 more hours to find IA.
Most interesting event #1: Stopping in middle of contest to work the XU7,
AP2,
TR8 and V85 with no trouble at all
Most interesting event #2 - Having to point beam to North to work La, Wtx
and
Nm on high bands - couldn't hear 'em pointed right at 'em and didn't want to
wait and fight the QRM on 40M or 80M ! Sigs must have been bouncing off
N0KK's
big aluminum up in Minnesota!
Basic setup -> IC765, TH6, 2 elem 40M, 80M shunt-fed tower, TR Log 6.44
Fun of course
