Comments:
Due in part to high gas prices, I cancelled my annual pilgrimage to the Indy
500. Not a problem though, as I was able to do some contesting and chores
around the house.
It was not a good time to have my beam down due to rotor failure. An all band
"fan vertical" was quickly assembled Friday evening after work. It played
fairly well considering it was mounted at ground level. Good enough for some
S&P QSOs.
10 meters is showing signs of life. Every time I checked, there was some
activity. It's amazing what a contest will do for a "dead" band.
As others have noted, conditions were bizarre to say the least. Propagation
was up and down. Signals were S9 one minute, and then totally gone a few
seconds later, usually when I transmitted my exchange.
Thanks to all for the QSOs.
73- Rick WB8JUI
