Comments:
The best contest I've had the pleasure of participating all year for me. It was
interesting to note the practice exchanges both the night before and a couple
of hours prior to the start. I elected to practice my exchange with my club
members on 2M while driving to and from work a few days before the contest
began, and then to cement the flow of information, I opened a small notepad
window and left it clearly visible for quick reference, and yes I used it a
lot.
15 Meters performed admirably. The Kenwood handled the crowded 20 Meter phone
band far better than it did in the CQ DX. With it, I almost swept all sections.
I heard WCF, PR, SK, and NE but could not reach their receiver with 100 watts.
QC, NWT, NL, and ND were nowhere to be found. Overall, it was a great way to
spend a chilly weekend.
73, cya in 09.
