Comments:
Had fun and learned a few things. Plan was to beat my personal best from '98
and made more QSO's but fell short on mults. I knew what to expect from the
high bands but I was hoping for more from 40-160. High noise level much of the
time prevented a more competitive score. There's always next time.
Usually the station is fairly reliable but I had a couple equipment issues. I
added microphone switching to my SO2R setup. It tested fine in the week before
the contest but on Friday I couldn't get decent audio out of it. So the second
rig was good only for a few interleaved CW QSOs. The other problem was the
tuner I put at the base of my 160M inverted-L to use it on 80M started to become
intermittent due to weather. Had to resort to using the HF6V on 80 which has at
least 10-20 dB worse S/N.
Anyway, enough excuses. It was still fun and I appreciate all the QSO's. Quite
happy to exchange greetings with all the usual suspects. C U often in 2005!
Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year!
Chris, VA3NR.
