Comments:
Thanks as always to John Evans for letting me use his great new station! Ugh!!!
I had to remind myself this is supposed to be fun - early Saturday night it
wasn't.
I had a pretty good first hour on 20 and then decided to try 80. What a
disaster! The conditions were weird. I had a few hours where I just couldn't
get ANYTHING to work - 80 or 40. After that, it was hard to keep going! I
actually had to remind myself that this was supposed to be fun.
I ended up about 200 QSO's short of last year's effort. Congratulation to NI1N
for an amazing score and an unbelievable number of 80-meter QSO's. Clearly, the
band was good.
I think the only thing I did right was to finish the sweep. I hadn't heard a
VY1, so I came off a break on Sunday afternoon and said "I'm going to tune 20
meters and find VY1JA." It took only five minutes to find the pileup and work
him. :-) Then, I went back on break. That was actually a GOOD decision -
maybe the only good decision I made all weekend.
I didn't feel loud on 80 anywhere closer than STX or SJV. Boy, I felt loud on
the longer stuff. I think the inverted vees at 90 feet are too high and the
Lazy-H works only well when propogation is "right".
