Comments:
Saturday night was a little tough using a wire on 80m with high SWR. Luckily I
had another wire for 160m that tuned up on 80m and that worked well from there
on.
While running, I noticed that after working a station with precedence of U,
that I would get a surge in Qs. :-) Great encouragement for an LP to run more
often, even with short runs, it proved to work better than S&P.
Had a good surge in Qs (27) near the last hour on 80m for 18 minutes, so that
was a nice way to end the contest.
I missed the following sections: RI, VT, SNJ, and QC.
I didn't do as well as last year (56k), but at least it ended well.
It'll be interesting to see the backlog on LoTW this week. ;-)
It was great to hear comments on the air about all of the MDC and NC stations
on this weekend.
Thanks for all the Qs!
