Comments:
What a washout at this QTH. Second-worst ever outing. Almost nobody beyond CO
could hear me, but I could hear everyone loud and clear, all having a good time
without me.
100W to a rather Z-shaped "inverted-L" with half a dozen short (40' max)
temporary radials on the lawn just doesn't cut it for top band. As I seem to
say too often, things will be different next time.
This time I mean it. 38 sections is a poor showing when I have room and height
for a proper 160M antenna. No snow here yet in Southern BC and temps are well
above freezing, so antenna season is still technically open. I will have
something better by the Stew.
Thanks to N3UA and N1LN for my only two 4-land contacts. Not a single Q in call
areas 1, 2 or 3.
Missed: KS, CT, EMA, ME, NH, RI, VT, WMA, ENY, NLI, NNJ, NNY, SNJ, VI, WNY, DE,
EPA, MDC, WPA, AL, GA, KY, NFL, PR, SC, SFL, TN, WCF, MS, WTX, PAC (!), OH, WV,
IN, GTA, MB, NL, ONE and QC.
I vow to never again have to type such a long list of missed sections for this
contest.
Thanks to all who held in there to work me this weekend. Lots of great ops and
stations make it a pleasure.
