Comments:
This turned out to be more fun than I expected, with fairly good
conditions. I made my second best score to date, since my best
back in Feb of 2005.
I finally found my groove by using the vfo A/B switch on my K2
to jump back and forth between two frequencies, and CQing like
crazy on them. I'd check around each freq for a S&P target, but
SOAPBif nothing found, hit the CQ button and let'er roll. I had a
number of periods where I'd get a call at least once every minute
for 6 or 7 minutes at a time. These mini-runs are a big deal at
QRP levels :O).
I was pleasantly surprised to get a call from ZF2BJ while CQing
on 40m. He was the only Caribbean signal I heard, although I
really didn't make a big effort to find any. I was pretty much
focused on W and VE call signs which I had a reasonable chance to
work.
Anyway, now that I'm starting to figure this out, I'm looking
forward to the September cw run now. Also hope to work a number
of you in the phone run next weekend.
Thanks for the QSOs and the patience while I fumbled with the
keyboard.
Good luck and 73
Bob N6WG
