Congratulations to K1BX on a great score!
Definitely not my year. Not that it would have made much difference but still
rebuilding antennas from storm damage last spring. Only two high band antennas
- one fixed NE and the other a rotary SteppIR. SteppIR is a good antenna but
not the best for sharing with SO2R. Had three rotary and one fixed antenna in
2006. On the bright side - highest ever QSO and country totals on 40 and 80
including "DXCC" on 40 for the first time ever in a contest.
Nasty weather all weekend. Thunderstorms and rain caused static at times but on
the plus side line noise to the SW went away.
African and Pacific openings on 10 were a nice surprise but missed a decent
opening to the multiplier rich Caribbean.
Hope to have a better high band antenna line up for ARRL DX.
Enjoyed it.
Marv, N5AW
