Comments:
Having two antennas configured as full wave verticals was never going to be an
ideal solution but Saturday came and I remembered there was a contest so turned
on the rig to see what was about.
Saturday got off to quite a reasonable start. On from around 0830 up to 10 QSOs
quite quickly and each QSO a different DXCC. An indication of good conditions to
come I thought. Hah! thought the ionosphere we'll soon put a stop to that. Like
everyone else I heard UA3, 3XM6, PYs and LUs. Could I work them? Not likely so
after 30 Qs I gave up and went off to write some Christmas cards. Came back up
around 2000 but band had gone to bed.
Up on Sunday; heard a C4 at 0900 Oh good maybe better to come. In fact it was
dire. I only heard around half a dozen stations all day and I'd worked all
except one yesterday. Grand total of 1 QSO for the day! Lost interest very
early and went off to write more Christmas cards and put the decorations up.
Oh how I wish I'd had something to beam at them all. It wasn't a weekend for
wet string!
Thanks for the QSOs.
