Comments:
I decided not to get serious for this one. Not going to bother putting up the
10M yagi, didn't fix the antenna (the pushup mast slipped about five feet to
about 20 feet high at the apex), didn't cancel golf or pickleball Saturday and
Sunday mornings. I even went Assisted!
But when you've got the contest bug it's hard to completely let go. So I ended
up putting in almost 13 hours, all S&P, and enjoyed the good conditions, as
well as the performance of the station, especially on 40M. It does take a bit
of humility when you're running 100W on SSB and that antenna on all bands, so I
had to decide, after calling some station a bunch of times, that it just wasn't
gonna happen and move on. His strength didn't always translate into my getting
heard. Really wanted HZ1DG many hours after his sundown, but no joy.
