Comments:
Not a serious effort at all, but that's okay. I still had fun. I worked VP6DX
for a new country, so that was cool. Thanks to them for joining the contest
fun. Also worked my first 4Z on 80 meters for a new band country.
Had issues with my 40 meter antennas, which one minute were fine and then the
next were haywire. I finally figured it out on Sunday afternoon - it was the
remote switchbox and not the antennas themselves.
Once again, I have to ask European contesters to please don't use "QSO B4." I
must have had eight or ten stations that sent that to me, and I did not have
anything close to their call in my log...so I just moved on.
At one point on Saturday night, I fell asleep at the keyboard while S&P'ing on
80 meters. I woke up hearing my call sign and 5NN KW in my headphones. I was
startled and didn't know what to do. The station sent my call and the exchange
again, so I sent 5NN MD.
The funny part was that there was no call in my log entry window. So I had to
listen to the station for a few Q's before he gave his own call to figure out
who I'd just had a contact with! Now if I could only figure out how to sleep
AND log the calls, this might be something to experiment with hi hi
