Comments:
I made a marginal effort on this one. I would have worked more if there was
more I could have worked. 20m started well, and ended up going back for a few
minutes when 40m got really noisy. 40m was not what I expected this time.
Always seems that I don't get what I expect when I sit down in front of a
radio. Lots of noise, and a few people calling. Tried calling CQ on 40 and
80, neither band gave me a great show. Don't know if I needed a better receive
antenna or if no one was listening. Tried a new band this time. I had never
worked 160m, but decided to give it a shot. I was amazed that the radio tuned
my dipole. Managed to get 8 contacts, mostly in the southeast. All in all,
not what I had hoped for, but did manage to get Delaware and Rhode Island.
Still missing Mississippi. Heard one person from MS, but they were doing
search and pounce. Maybe the next contest will prove to be a little better.
73,
