Comments:
An SSB contest at the bottom of the sunspot cycle is a bit of a grind. It gets
to a point on Sunday when hourly rates can be counted on one's fingers. Our
equipment worked fine, except when I got reports of having lousy audio from a
handful of stations. Swapping microphones didn't solve the problem, but
swapping radios did. Nice to have spare K3s.
All of our operators live in a deed-restricted community, so the opportunity to
operate with real antennas a few miles down the road is a blessing. What fun it
is to work stations in YB, JA, FK, ZL, VK, KH6, KL7, 9G, ZS6, etc. with one or
two calls.
We did lots of S&Ping and we ran when we could. We are still in the mode of
training new contesters to run. Thanks to my friends who came to The Land to
play. Until next time, 73, de K2DM
