Comments:
Part time fun. Business trip leaving on Sunday afternoon and my son was home
for the holidays. Decided to avoid trying to do anything competitive. Was
serious when I was on, but walked away when it wasn't fun or the family wanted
to do something.
Friday night was tough. Even the loud Eu on 80m couldn't hear me. 160 was even
tougher. I am concerned that my 40m beam is now acting like a dipole, the 80m 4
square has high dump power beaming Eu, and got beat out by everyone and his
brother on 160m. Time for some maintenance.
Woke up late Sat morning and 20m was already packed. Tuned the radio up on 15m
ad heard signals so called CQ. Started slow but then became a raging pileup.
Fun!!
Sunday morning I got up earlier and found spot on 20m. Always fun when the
Russians are coming in. Although a snarl of callers all on the same frequency
really slows things down.
Weird to have 9 zones and 10 countries on 10m. Saw lots of spots for Caribbean
stations, but I only heard band noise when I checked them out. Band was very
spotlight.
Did much better than expected. Conditions were interesting and entertaining,
although frustrating with lower than normal signal levels. Signal quality (with
a few exceptions) was better than ever.
Always great to hear so many friends from around the world. Thanks for the
QSOs.
I think I am done with truly competitive single ops. Time for the younger guys
to take over.
Some numbers...
