Comments:
The noise at my city QTH was solid S9 (as usual) but the IPO setting on my
FT-1000MP really helped out a lot, as did my Timewave 599zx DSP unit. There
were lots of signals but after a while it seemed like very few I hadn't worked.
I managed to work 47 states (only missed SD, DC and MS) and was worried about
getting Florida (never worked it from here before) and finally got 2 stations
around 2AM on Sunday. The QRN in the house was just about as bad as on the
bands as my daughter had a post mid-term exam party going on upstairs on
Saturday night! So I managed to work through all the QRN, with highlights
including working CN2R, EF8M, PQ0F and several JA's. These are all "new ones"
for me on 160m. I heard a lot of folks working Europe, but never heard them.
I also heard PEI twice but he was busy working Europe so didn't get him. But
all in all, quite good condx and lots of fun.
Rig: FT-1000MP
