Comments:
First, a HUGH thanks to John Evans N3HBX for the use of his new station for the
weekend. John has engineered and built a very competitive station that will no
doubt be making plenty of noise in the years to come. I approached John this
summer about the possibility of using it for CQ WW CW. For single ops, CQ WW
CW is the most competitive in my opinion. I wanted to see how I would fare
going into battle with a vastly superior antenna farm compared to what I have
at my home station. No doubt it helped but K5ZDâ??s score, and maybe others,
show I still have a ways to go to close the gap. Randyâ??s numbers are
phenomenal and, he got 3 hours of sleep to boot!
Mark KD4D, my 40-meter partner at W3LPLâ??s for ARRL CW, helped me set up
Johnâ??s station on Monday night prior to the contest. I wanted to stick with
Writelog and my SO2R box. I arrived Johnâ??s at 2 PM Friday. After booting
everything up and taking the station for a test spin, I decided it was time for
a pre contest nap. I have a hard time sleeping during the day, even at home. I
may have dozed off for a few minutes on the cot but that was about it until I
took an hour break at 07Z on the second day.
I started the contest running on 40 and the second radio S&Ping on 20. 20
yielded just 3 QSOâ??s and the rate on 40 was pretty slow. I decided to jump
to 80 with the 3-element wire beam on Europe and bingo; I was off to the races!
The 10-meter opening to Europe was fun. Many of the signals were just above
the noise. I should have made more than one attempt at running stations on 160
with the 3-element wire beam when signals from Europe were loud. The one time I
did, someone scolded me for bad key clicks. Sorry but my radios at home are
modified. Iâ??ll mention it to John.
By early Sunday morning, I had worked every zone (aggregate of all bands)
except 23 & 36. After I snagged JT1C on 40, I thought hey, maybe I have a
chance to get them all this weekend. As the day went on, no sign of zone 36
anywhere. I kept hoping my fellow IBB employee S9SS would show up but time was
winding down. Finally at 20:21Z I came across a 5NN 36 on the second radio and
there was S9SS. A minute later he was in the log!
To echo K5ZDâ??s comment, there were numerous times during the weekend when
I asked myself why Iâ??m doing this. It happens when operating from home too.
Yet in the aftermath, I realize just what a blast I had and Iâ??m sure Iâ??ll be
back for more.
