Comments:
Was planning to go up to VE6SV for the contest but everybody in my family got
sick. So I worked the contest from home and had lots of fun. Thursday night
the bands were hopping, until I rand out of steam, as I had gotten up at my
usual 5AM and put in a full day at the office. Retired about midnight and was
back at it by 6AM. Unfortunately, condx were nowhere near as good as we got
hit by another aurora. At times, it sounded like someone was crumpling up a
big wad of cellophane, and other times it sounded like the dam broke and a huge
amount of rushing water was coming at me. And when things got "good" the QSB
was there to remove every other character when copying CW. It was all a
challenge but I've gotten used to it. Just wish 15/10/6 meters would have
opened up even a little. I kept trying them every hour or so but without much
luck. Only worked one VE8 and nobody from NU. SK was too close to work on 20m
from here.
Thank you to everyone who wasn't really in the contest but managed to give me a
point. That was a big part of it. Time to put the radio away for the summer
and look after other projects. CU in the fall.
