Comments:
Interesting condx.
Our first try at M/2. For three operators and two rigs this seemed a good way to
go for maximizing fun and club score.
160M: Split even between the 3 ops. Condx seemed marginal. K2AV ZS/Vertical
80M : Very good condx. The first night, 80M was better than 40M 4L yagi/4 SQ
40M : Challenging. Skip went too long the first night. 5lQuad/2L yagi
20M : Vy FB. The lower MUF seemed to help this band 8L fixed / 4L rotary
15M : Better second day for us. More qsos on 80M than on 15M ! 4L rotary
10M : Obviously approaching bottom of the cycle. We spent little time here.4L
fixed
We probably could have used another op, but we are all hawgs and it worked
out.
The band plan called for K2AV 40M, N4CW 20M and N4AF filling in on the rest.
Reality created a pretty good mix of who-did-what. Thankfully the equipment
behaved as murphy saw we had backups at the ready.
Lots of fun w/4BDXCC, thanks for the Q's.
73, Howie N4AF
