Comments:
This continues to be one of my favorite contests. After 39+ years trying I still
can't get the elusive sweep. I did manage to work every section I heard.
Sections that were hard last year were in the log in the first 4-5 hours this
time. I never heard ME until late Sunday on 80M. I also found CT stations very
scare this time compared to past years.
At 2115 Sunday I spent about 30 minutes on 15M looking for some multipliers.
The band appeard to be empty but I was surprised to hear some west coast
stations coming through S9+. Couldn't hear anything else until I found KH7Y
calling CQ. Worked him just before the band went silent.
I ended up missing WTX, ND, AK, NWT and MB.
My new OMNI 7 performed falwlessly and the receiver was put to the test with
heavy QRN and QRM at times.
Station Ten Tec OMNI 7 100W
HP Pavillion running CT
Antennas 4 element Yagi 10/15/20 @ 30 ft, 80/40 dipoles at 35 ft
Thanks for all the QSO's.
