Comments:
First real SSB contest for me and now I really know that I prefer CW. Got the
headset interfaced to the rig about 30 minutes before the contest but couldn't
get the voice keyer running.
Temporary 20 M beam helped but was unable to get anything going on 20M on
Saturday; just lack of experience. Inverted vee for 80 and low dipoles for 160
& 40. Managed a few runs on 160 and 80 and was happy to see the rate meter go
above 400 several times. Best 10 minute rate was 444/hr.
Nice to work almost 100 countries on 20 including a few JA and Pacific. Was
happy with 43 Countries out of 83 Qs on 15 using the 40 M dipole but it was a
real slog and couldn't work many that I called. Same frustration on 160 where I
could hear a lot more DX than I could work.
