Comments:
I got a cold about a week ago. Thought I could shake it before contest weekend.
It got much worse than expected and limited my hours.
This was 99% S&P. I wanted to run Sunday on 20M but could not find an open
frequency. The band was jammed end to end.
Lost my 160M Inverted L about 2 weeks ago in the first snow storm. Didn't have
time to fix it so used the 80M dipole. The "L" is far superior.
Found 80M really disappointing. 40 started slow then came alive Saturday night.
15M appeared to be dead Sunday morning until I cranked up the audio gain and
listened closely. I worked 15 countries and 5 double mults on the first call in
less than 15 minutes.
20M was the money band. I considered a single band entry but could not generate
enough QSO's without running.
Nothing heard on 10M Saturday or Sunday. Tried many times but no luck.
Great fun hunting for mults the old fashion way.
Thanks for the QSO's.
73,
