Comments:
Thanks to Tom K1KI and the entire NEQP team. It was another fun event.
Compared to 2017 it was LOT more difficult. The solar storm really caused
trouble on Sunday. QRN was severe at times. I had hoped to beat my 2017 score
but had to reset my expectations.
New goals : 50K points and 500 QSO's (made both in the final 90 minutes)
Probably could have done better with more operating time, but conditions made it
very tough on the ears. The last 2 hours recovered some on 40/80.
Really hard finding multipliers and there was very little DX. I tried working EU
several times but only got DL3DXX. Multiplier total was down 13 from last year.
Worked 46 states (missed AK,HI,MS,ND)
Worked only 4 provinces NB,NS,ON,QC (missed AB,BC,LB,MB,NF,NT,NU,PE,SK,YT)
Worked 3 DX stations DL,HC,XE
This was a HUGE difference compared to last year's 13 DX stations.
Still great fun running and occasionally S&P hunting.
Station: TenTec Omni 7 100W, MFJ Diff T tuner, WinKeyer USB, Heil ProSet Plus
Antennas: 4 element yagi at 30ft, 80/40 dipoles fed with ladder line
Computer: Windows 7 PC running N1MM+
Thanks for all the QSO's.
Special thanks to all the Ops I worked on multiple bands/modes.
73,
Rick N1DC
