Comments:
FT1000MP, Alpha 78/AL811H, 80 meter inverted vee fed through an antenna tuner as
if it were an end-fed wire. Seem to have burned up something in the Alpha 78
attempting to get it tuned up for the contest. Later discovered it still works
OK above 1900 khz. Had to use the smaller AL811H for QSOs below 1900 khz.
Nice to work a few Caribbean stations and hear a few others. XE1RCS had a
consistent good signal and good ears. KP4KE had an amazing signal for QRP, but
never could hear me well enough to copy even a part of my call. Heard a very
loud DJ4 calling CQ, but got no response from him even though no one else in USA
seemed to be calling. Think that was DJ4PT.
This can be a fun contest from a well-equipped station, but is a bit frustrating
and boring from one without good antennas for 160.
73,
John, K4BAI.
