Comments:
Two days prior to contest my 160/80m inverted L's both hanging in the same tree
would up shorting out each other. So this was just a 40-10m effort rather
than an all band effort.
BUT surprisingly good cndx on 10-15m added to the fun. At last a contest with
10, 15, 20, and 40m all producing about the same number of OSOs!
Unfortunately, at 10:30am Sat the house suffered a momentary power outage.
That disrupted N1MM+ and I lost the contents. I was stunned and out of the
contest. What to do next? Over a period of five hours I gradually learned how
to reconstruct my log. Then when I noticed N1MM+ lost track of my 7610's
frequency and band input, I staggered through various menu options and
slooowly got the software working again. BUT I had lost FIVE precious hours
troubleshooting, which were also prime time on 10-15-20m!
Then once back OTA, I was relieved but also burned out so I took a short nap.
Five hours later I woke up and had missed what looked to be a good JA opening.
Unfortunately, as good as the bands were, Day 2 produced just 3 JA's on 15m to
go with 3 JA's on 40m on Sat morning.
Best DX: BG6SNJ on 20m, FR4KR (Reunion) on 10m, VK6N and VK9DX (Norfolk) on
40m.
Highlights: 10m!!!! Nice VK activity on 40m Sat morning.
Biggest Disappointments: Lack of JA/Asia on all bands despite seemingly good
cndx.
And as a special bonus, just by following the skip, my QSO totals on all four
bands I operated were almost the same!
