This was a fun contest. Thanks to all who called. Special thanks to DL2HBX (7
Qs), K8FH 7, K5KG 6, K8MP 6, KE8M 6, KV8Q 6, and a host of others at 5 Qs or
less. The weather was excellent and when I parked to operate, I could open the
windows and keep cool from the mild breeze. Out-of-state particiapation was
good, with TN stations seeming to be the most abundant. (I hope the folks in
TN are as hospitable in two weeks when I travel to Knoxville to watch the
Bearcats whip the Volunteers.) In-state, Delaware County appears most
frequently in the log.
The mobile setup was a K3 with hamsticks for 20, 40 75 and 80. One of the
allures of ham radio is working all around the country and into Europe while
sitting in your car parked in some remote village using these short inefficient
antennas.
Although I tried 75/80 in the afternoon, almost all 75/80 contacts were after
dark. At times 40M CW seemed so crowded with OQP stations around 7045 that it
was difficult to find a frequency to CQ without moving 7 KHz or more away. I
had one good SSB run on 40M, but it was difficult and time consuming to find a
spot clear enough to call CQ on SSB. Nevertheless, working SSB in the last two
hours became easier and a number of multipliers were picked up near the end.
