Comments:
Ugh. There is an advantage - at least, you could call it that - for borrowing a
big station for a contest. I committed the whole weekend and drove to the N3HBX
contest station. That advantage was I just quit and face the long drive home
through the snow! :-)
The first hour was BY FAR the best with a rate of 36. It was all downhill from
there.
I did work a two or three ZLs Saturday - nothing else west of a single QSO in
Idaho. I worked the V5 on Sunday and a smattering of South Americans. 7 DX
countries and no Mexican stations at all. I didn't even work Texas! :-(
This was a real struggle. I lost several QSOs to fading - I would copy a
callsign but just couldn't get the exchange.
My favorite time was the last 36 minutes of the contest. I worked 12 Minnesota
stations in a row - both running and S&P. Nothing but Minnesota! The rate
really seemed pretty good at that point - about 20 QSOs per hour. :-)
Thanks to John Evans, N3HBX, for loaning me his fine station. Unfortunately,
10 meters was broken all weekend and he didn't manage to fix it!
73,
Mark, KD4D
