Comments:
Many thanks to all of you who worked us. Conditions were pretty poor during
much of the contest, and copying was difficult at times. We appreciate all the
repeats, and the fact that the others waited patiently till we got it right. We
travelled a total of 750 miles, with 550 actually in the contest. We ran the
same route as last year, which luckily somehow kept us clear of all the big
thunderstorms which we could often see off in the distance.
Our score of 1312 was not as good as last year (1543), or the year before
(1355). If we would have been able to operate on 15m, as several requested, our
score would certainly have been a bit higher. We have always had SWR issues
with our 15m antenna, but on Sunday after the contest we worked hard to improve
the ground wiring and connections in the Montana Van. It was very successful,
so look for us on 15m in the future.
Top QSO total goes to W0BH with 44 (way to go Bob!), followed by a close second
KV8Q with 40 (nice job Tom). Other top scores were VE3KZ (36), K5WAF (34), and
NT2A (34). The pileups got bigger and bigger as evening rolled in, which sure
made this contest exciting for us.
We only worked 3 DX stations, DK3BN (2), GW0AAA/P (1), and YV5OIE with a nice
total of 27 contacts.
A big thanks to Jim Johnson KC4HW making this contest happen. And most
importantly, a huge thanks again to Melody KI4HVY for driving us safely, and on
course, all over beautiful Alabama. Your the greatest.
73 from the N4ZZ/M team,
