Comments:
Not a serious entry from here. Tower was lowered due to bad weather and no 160
meter antenna. That said, when Jeff VY2ZM asked me to QSY from 80 I used the
80 metre dipole via ATU to give him the GW mult on top band.
Wasn't QRV until around 0700 on Saturday and then only for about an hour on
LF.
Returned to 80 around midnight (0000 UTC) to find the band in good shape and
raked up over 200 Qs, even getting called by VE6 which was good.
When not seriously competing in a contest I just set my own targets here and
there, so ARRL SSB was a case of 500 Qs soon becoming 1000, 1500 then 2000.
On 10 metres, with over 400 Qs in the log Sunday I chose to target 500 Qs
rather than go for a better rate a on 15.
Final Q of the contest was just after 1900, on 10 metres with a call from
VE5SKI in Saskatchewan.
As ever, contest audio is available at http://gw4ble.dxlist.co.uk
