SOAPBOX:
Part time effort with an hour here and there. Started on 15 but had to take
my son to a birthday party 1/2 hour into the contest. Checked 10 with a CQ
in the second hour when I got back and worked a dozen W6's with HUGE
signals, all 10 to 30db over S9. Went to 15 and tried moving western states
to 10 with NIL results. Only the W6's were coming thru. But did work 9J2AM
on 10 and he was 30db over! Was called by a few SA stations who were also
S9+ off the back of the beam. After that, never heard the band open again.
20SSB was awesome here with just about everyone S9+. Worked one fellow in AZ
who was testing his 150 milliwat rig and he was S8! Hope somebody signed up
S51CK to a team, Ivo was running stations as a furious clip.
All my beams and antennas are tuned for low CW and my FT-1000D could just
barely auto-tune the 40M beam, but had RF in the voice keyer on 40 and 80.
The Delta loop worked well on 80, but had a S8-9 noise level here.
Glad to finally find N4DL, K4XS, and KR4YL on 75. Some of the Texans
commented that there sure seemed to be a lot of FL stations on, but not
heard here. Every time I do this, I remember why I like CW so much.
I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations
established for amateur radio in my country. My report is correct and true
to the best of my knowledge. I agree to be bound by the decisions of the
Awards Committee.
