Comments:
Initially, I was going to get on and do 40m SB HP, but when the weekend
presented just way too many things going on, I opted to do something weird and
do 100% S&P...OUCH it's rough not being able to CQ or run stations ! (though I
wouldn't have had the signal strength until Sunday nite to do so anyways)
Condx Friday night and into Sat night were TERRIBLE this far north, but I did
hear some N. EU's and JA's right up til local midnight on 20, 15 and even
10--wild ! Most were 100% pure AU (that's no tone/note at all for you non-6m
types)
This was strictly an hour here, and 20 minutes there, and no all nighters (and
no runing stations) I would make a coffee and sit down for a spell, then go do
whatever for an hour, then come back, switch bands, take one swipe up the band;
rinse/repeat.
Worked an E21 station (E21EIC). Must be my first Thailand in literally decades
and he stuck with me for 6 or 7 overs to make sure he had my call correct.
Thank-YOU sir. What a FB op ! ! I was excited about that one and also nabbing
FW0NAR on 10m when 10m was in the tubes....nice ears !
It felt funny not calling any of these 60/9 USA stns who are normally my bread
and butter in most contests. I guess I haven't done an ARRL-DX CW in a long
while. Usually have other things on the go in Feb. This was no different, but
managed 12:40hrs BIC time off and on.
Worked a few of the PJ's on all bands. They were very loud and manned by a
bunch of nice fists. Good on ya guys.
