Comments:
This was an interesting experiment! Given that:
* I'm still looking for AK on 80 for 5BWAS (actually 7BWAS)
* My ears don't "enjoy" phone contests
* My days were going to be very busy
I decided to do a single-band 80m only contest. Little did I
know, although I should have guessed, that (based on 3830
stuff I've read) 10m was GREAT and 80m noisy.
Plus, I haven't made any improvements to my 75m dipole. See
below to see how sub-optimal it is. Who said that doing the
same thing and expecting different results is the definition
of crazy...
I did get up at 5 am local both days, with meager results. AK
was spotted Sunday morning, but I could not hear them. Sunday
evening from ~6-8 local saw a lot of knob twisting, but NO Qs.
I still had fun!
RIG: TS590SG
ALL S&P -- it took a lot of patience to be heard in the pileups
ANTENNA:
160-trap-75 / 80-trap-40 / 30 triple-fan "dipole" centered @
35'.
The 160/75 runs Southwest-Northeast, with the NE portion twisting
around the yard to fit it in. (The ends are about 20' high.)
