Comments:
Lots of fun as always, even though I know my no-tower/no-beam setup has no
chance of really competing in this contest, especially in these down solar
times. Most of my op time was at night, or in small 10 minute bursts through
the daylight hours while dealing with the family, carving pumpkins, watching
football, meals, etc.
If you had a QSO with me, it was on tape, as I used 100% recorded voice files
with Writelog again for this contest. I did CQ a bit on 75 meters and found a
few VE's, but that was it for the CQ Machine. Look for full voice files
operation in the November SS SSB!
The voice files really did their job as usual late at night, so I could
contest without disturbing the XYL or kids. But they really proved their
mettle during the day when I was balancing the 2-month old and keyboard at
the same time...many Q's were completed with my boy screaming at the top of his
lungs - but none of that was heard on the air! (Just my own personal source of
QRM, eh?)
Highlights included working XF4DL on 80/40/20 for new band countries. The
only other new one was CE on 15, which for some reason has always eluded me.
The 10 meter opening on Sunday was nice - a reminder of the way things used
to be when I would work mountains of Papa Papa stations from PY.
My antenna highlight was my new 40 meter inverted L that allowed me to actually
be heard in Europe this year. In fact, I worked more Europe on 40 than 20 - as
that band was really tough for on my low power signal on Sunday.
Lowlights included losing four daylight hours on Saturday to a power outage.
The big bummer was that I had set aside that time to operate. Instead I used
half of it to do antenna work.
My antenna lowlight is thanks to Mother Nature, who knocked down my 80 meter
inverted vee this summer. I replaced it with an inverted L, but you could tell
the difference - ZERO Q's with Europe. Not good.
See you in the SS/CW, SS/SSB and CQ WW CW.
