K3 and Slinky did better on 160 SSB than I expected. Worked W6YI, KI7M, and
C6ANM (good ears!). I'll try the ARRL DX SSB too, to show that I'm not
prejudiced against phone operators.
No RTTY, though. Forget that. I just don't understand the attraction of "making
contacts" by watching letters march across a screen. That reminds me of the
stupid "crawls" all over the TV screen during ball games.
I'd forgot what a terrible call sign K1TN is on slopbucket. Maybe I should get
WN9AUM back.
The local noise I've had here all these years (3) mysteriously disappeared this
weekend. I wonder if it was all the snow we've had. It was amazing what I could
hear on my TX antenna (the Slinky) compared to the snake-in-the-grass RX
antenna that I usually use on 160 and 80. I heard lots of West Coast and even a
few EU.
But I didn't hear VT. I think maybe VT needs one more active contester living
there. I'll bet it could be really quiet camping in the woods and running
everything on 12 volts DC.
