Comments:
Fun contest.. Slightly lower total score than last year (missed 1 state and 3
less countries) but had more Q's.
Friday night was fun, again running was the key. Had an 80 hour at one point.
One less hour than last year, I overslept Sunday AM by an hour (and apparently
missed SD because of it). No EU this time at all, but did get a few Carib folks
and one I believe is a new band country.
During the day Saturday I finished building a rx antenna preamp kit (i'd been
procrastinating for months) and hooked it inline. Made a bit of difference so
spent Saturday night and Sunday using my NE-SW and NW-SE BOGs (beverage on
ground). TX antenna noise is S5-6 mostly, the BOGs were S1-3 which helped me
capture those stations that were previously buried in the noise on the TX
antenna. There's always room for improvement though, even with the bogs I
couldn't copy some stations enough to make a Q.
Missed AK and SD(!!), lots of SMC on and worked. Thanks for the Q's.
73,
WT2P
