Comments:
Worked from W2IJ's location in Alta Loma, 2nd contest operation since 1993 and
had a blast. This time I wanted to put in 30 hours operation so my goal of
operating was much closer to what I wanted to put in compared with ARRL SSB
2002. This was my 1st contest using high power... what a difference it makes in
holding a frequency. Busting into Europe from under the mountains we have here
was so much easier with the extra smoke.
Goals were 1000 Q's and 1 million points, blasted right through that. Learned a
lot about running a frequency. Don't know how you guys put in all 48 hours, I
need to get some of the same stuff that your drinking and eating, too easily
distracted with non-radio things going on.
Used my Writelog software for the 1st time and was very happy with it.
I set the main goal on taking 1st place in California for my classification, not
exactly like there is a lot of Single Band competition, but will still be
surprised if I did it.
Equipment was:
Kenwood TS-950S
Cushcraft A4S at 65 feet
Alpha 77
