LOWS:
Conditions were awful on the high bands. My usual tactic of running Europeans
on the high bands never really materialized. There goes about 300 QSOs. The
trick to doing well in the PA QSO Party is to do as much CW as possible. The
giant scores are always heavily biased to CW. I tried more CW, but I'm pretty
slow. My apologies to those who had to tolerate my low rate and frequent
repeats. My new 75m dipole is too close to the house. The RF flooded the shack
and kept locking up the computer, so I had to turn the power way down and
suffered there.
HIGHS:
This is still the VERY BEST contest of them all! My fellow contestants are
friendly (and friends!)! Despite my CW woes, I felt I did much better this
time. With more time to work on my skills, I'll be there soon. My station
worked well and put out a generally loud signal! I was afraid nobody would get
the county sweep, but those mobiles and rovers saved the day for a bunch of us!
I made the sweep, with KA3EEO in SUS at 1915z Sunday for my final one!! I got 10
QSOs with the W3SC bonus station, FOUR on 2 meter FM! W3SC/M drove thru LEH,
NHA, CAR, and then SCH, all within earshot of my QTH! I LOVE THIS STUFF AND I
LOVE ALL OF YOU WHO MAKE THIS SUCH A WONDERFUL EVENT!!
Goody K3NG whooped me handily again! You deserve the CAR crown, Goody! You are
an amazing QRP operator! Oh, and Larry N3CR, your granddaughter's rain dance
didn't work!! Goody's solar cells kept him going strong to the end! You gotta
work with that kid some more for next year!
