Comments:
This was my first time ever doing SS CW for more than a few casual hours.
Sunday really wasn't that bad! I probably worked the 2nd radio as hard as I
ever have. Low power was a lot of fun. My K2 was only putting out 50 watts,
and I didn't bother turning it up. Probably cost me a few 2nd radio Q's. Some
guys just couldn't get me. Maybe that extra 50w would have helped, I don't
know.
I didn't know when to take my time off. Slept through my alarm for about 30
minutes, which may have cost a few Q's also. Might be worth it to just take
the last 2 hours off and not worry about spacing out the off time too much.
Rates were fine for almost all of Sunday.
15m was just OK here. Those W5/6 types were running stuff I could never even
hear. Sunday was better... a great place to go and be one of the few loud
stations on the east coast. Plus 20m was better for 2nd radioing.
LaMar's station is very nice! I felt like I owned 20m. The 2 el 40m is still
on the ground. When 40 and 80m get into shape there, it will really be a great
SS station!
Antennas:
10: 6 el (nothing heard on 10)
15: 5 el
20: 5el + TH7 @ 40 feet fixed 110 degs
40: Flattop dipole @70 feet + Vertical dipole
80: Vertical dipole
160: 9LT Special good for 1 Q!
FT1000D + K2/50
I met my goal of 1000 q's, and 1100 looked doable. But I knew I was only
dreaming towards the end. It's *VERY* tough to get through on those big
pileups the last 2 hours with 50w and a dipole! Managed a few Q's anyhow.
Thanks for all the Q's, it really was a fun one. Also thanks to LaMar for the
great hospitality and letting me use his station!
