Comments:
Full-on effort this time and had a blast! 10 hours continuous in the chair.
This is an all-time record score for N5UM single op at home. Conditions were
awesome on all bands. Had very nice sustained runs on 20, 40, and 80 (see
info below). 10 and 160 were good for some extra mults. Everything worked
flawlessly. The 102 ft doublet was redone and rehung after the old one broke
and came down in the ice storm back in November. I managed to get one end of
the new one away from the tree on one side. It seems to work much better but
not sure if it was because of the re-do. All 20 and 80 meter Qs were on the
doublet. It works OK on 40 as well, but I made most of the 40 meter Qs on the
vertical. For some reason, on 15 and 10, the doublet picks up a lot of noise,
so all 15 and 10 meter Qs were on the Hustler vertical.
I'm glad I was able to put up a good score for the DFWCG. I used the name
"Rich" in this contest in memory of KL7RA. I never got to meet him
personally, but worked him in many contests over the years.
