Comments:
Thanks to Jim, K1IR, for the use of his top-notch 1-tower station. I've named
Jim's new 40m 4L Optibeam @ 90' "the dominator!" Incredible runs on 40m --
great to keep the rate >=100 for first 11 hours of the contest! Did not worry
about mults until mid-Sunday, and it bit me again. I searched quite a bit for
the territories but NIL heard at all. Last mult was VE2.
I was using an Orion as the run radio and an IC781 for the second radio. The
Orion is the first radio I've heard that seems to have a perceived "Z axis".
While running on 40m, I could hear the QRM, but the stations on frequency seemed
to "stand in front" of the QRM. I also noticed that my fatigue level was low
while listening to the radio for a long time.
Looking forward to a great CQWW CW from K1IR!
