Comments:
Failed to have some sleep before the contest and made the silly mistake of
forgetting the clock alarm end of Day 1! Damage was -fortunately!!- limited to
2 extra hours of sleep!
After a very slow start on low bands, high bands were outstanding. I've been
using a Tribander, GP for 40 and Inv-V for 80. Radios: nothing other than a an
old TS-450S and an older FT-890.
The weekend before, I made a small device for sharing audio from the two radios
into headset with possibility of one radio selection. I do not have RF Filters
but some band combinations allowed for simultaneous radio operation. 14
valuable mults were catched on the second radio! I missed mult shasing party
end of Day 2 since high bands closed relatively early and my signals couldn't
get through.
The best 60-minute rate was 272Q/h. I had several 15-minutes with more than
300Q/h. Huge activity on the bands, I was always struggling to find a 'clear'
room.
This score is a personal record for me and breaks the record of Zone 33 in this
category. Thanks to each and everyone for the QSOs and band moves!!
