Comments:
I had to attend a meeting in Austin, 400 miles to the east. It ended about
11:00 am, so I was able to hit the road at 11:30. Fortunately, around 240
miles of I10 that I have to travel has an 80 mph speed limit, so I pulled into
the house with 30 minutes to spare. Since I was tired at the start of the
contest, I planned on stopping fairly early to get some needed sleep. But 40M
would not let me -- conditions to asia were wonderful. I was able to run JAs
on an absolutely quiet band. I could hear everyone well -- regardless of how
much power they were running. Stations with 5 watts were as strong as those
with 100 watts. It was magical, and I kept saying to myself just another hour,
then I'll sleep. At 4:30 am I finally stopped to sleep.
The other fun time was on Sunday afternoon when I discovered that 10M was open
to the Carribean. I was able to quickly pick up 10 new multipliers. In my
sleep deprived state it seemed to me like I was finding little treasures (or
Easter eggs or something)with every few khz move in frequency.
Thanks to all the DX for participating in this contest.
