Comments:
"Once again into the breach..." That was one of the more deviant contests I've
been in. Conditions were all over the place, from piss poor to outstanding.
Turn the gain all the way up to make a go at a QSO and then literally getting
blown from the chair, what fun eh?! It was great to have a decent opening on 10
to EU and then have sporadic opening in the Americas. 15 was nice as well and
was surprised to catch ZD8RH way up the band during a sweep. 20 started out
rough, could not get anything going, was lucky to string 3 Qs together for a
"run". That changed Saturday night with a nice over the pole opening (most of
Saturday seemed to be over the pole here) and finally Sunday afternoon I was
able to run. 40 was the meat band with the most points and multipliers.
YO3FRI gets the "best ears" award for sticking it out during a tough spell.
It was nice to catch A73A and A61HZ on 20 with 4Z4DX rounding out the mideast.
Didn't have much luck working many of the low power EU folks this time, thanks
to all for the effort.
Antennas included a inverted delta on 40 top @ 15M, 72' Tee did double duty on
80/160 and the 4 element Steppir handled the high bands. Running the new K3
this time.
As always it was nice to work so many "ol' hands" and many newbies, nice
contest and great ops!
73,
Julius
