Comments:
Decided to go LP a week before CQWW. A storm destroyed the spiderbeam beyond
repair and I didn't feel competitive enough with just a set of rotary dipoles on
the high bands.
DAY 1
Condx on HF by far exceeded my expectations. Had a few good runs mainly into
Europe (wished they had been longer) and enjoyed working a number of easy
Carribean mults on 15m long path before our local midnight. At times, I didn't
really feel that I was running LP and dipoles from VK.
DAY 2
Was like sitting in a black hole at the end of the world, removed from all that
action and fun: No runs at all. S&P was very hard work. A total of 250 QSOs
on Day 2 vs 1150 QSOs the day before I think says it all. In fact, Day 2 was
definitely much closer to our reality over here.
BOTTOM LINE
Another great CQWW weekend with a clear preference on Saturday! Interesting
experience with a restricted set up.
Thanks for all the Qs and your patience!
