I came within a whisker of quitting shortly after the start on Saturday. I was
going up the band on 40 m and calling CQ-ing stations, and another GTA station
known as a QRP-er was in synch with me calling same runners at roughly the same
time. It happened maybe a dozen times. Difference was he was getting through on
the first call every time while I had to call several, sometimes many, times to
be heard. He cannot have a much better antenna for 40 than my old battered
vertical, I thought; he pumps out 5 W while I spit out 100 - the radio gods are
trying to tell me something. Good thing I decided to stick it to the radio gods.
I also decided to shoot the fish in the barrel and, not having a shotgun, got
myself a barrel - switched to Assisted. In the end it kind of worked out: on CW
I got all 67 for a sweep with JAC being the last at 19:26 GMT on Sunday.
