Comments:
The station rebuild is partially done and the 2nd radio antenna
is up (CL-33 Tribander 3 el 18' boom @ 73') with its reflection
zone out in the saltwater of Kaneohe Bay next to the QTH.
Big monobanders and 2 el 40 should be up on the main tower before
SS if all goes well.
2X TS-590S (7 second radio contacts.)
Conditions
10M good all week, not so much during the contest.
15M Deep QSB and the band went long early, EA's and
DL's kept asking for signal reports, not good in
a domestic contest.
20M Good only after about 0030 or 0100Z here then mainland
signals get very loud. One good run, N6TV log tools reports
4Q/Min 4X, 3Q/min 21X and 2Q/min 97X but too many partial
calls and fills with the heavy QRM I could only milk the run
for a 1.5 hr X 126/hour rate with my very rusty pile up skills
after 12 years
off. Worked lots old friends but I hope they didnt stick around
to hear my poor pileup management skills. Working the rust off
slowly and painfully.
40M I Told several mid-west ops I would see them on 40 and most
did'nt think they could work me on 40, the reaction was great
fun when we actually did QSO. Rough with just an inverted vee
@ 71'.
80M No antenna yet.
Thanks everyone for the contacts.
