Comments:
We had two new operators join us for this weekend - W5AG (Arch) and WA5JWU
(Mike) - to see if we could get them interested in Multi-Op contesting.
Hopefully we did that. But we still have problems trying to get operators for
this contest. Having to listen to voice splatter for hours on end does not
attract too much interest. Moreover, I was the only operator from mid-night
until sunrise. By Saturday mid-night, I couldn't go anymore and got some rest,
so our low band counts suffered.
Regretfully, we did not run as much as we should have. Plus the conditions for
us on 10M were not as good as last year. We made up for some of that on 15M this
time. Overall, total Qs for both bands were about the same as last year. But
both our country and zone counts are down this year. And we missed Zone 29
entirely. Also, seems that activity on 160/80/40 was lower this time around.
But overall, we did have a good time. No real equipment problems - just
operator errors. Need to add some stub filters, as the Dunestars help, but are
not sufficient. And a nearby power-pole lightning arrestor started to act-up
intermittently.
We'll be active for both SSCW/SSSSB and CQWW CW. Hopefully we will have more
help for CQWW CW.
