Comments:
This contest offers the most fun you can have with a low loop of wire. As all
contests, itâ??s a part time effort because my Sunday is a little busy with
production requirements at church. Iâ??m really bummed that I missed 3
sections.
PR â?? Heard a couple of stations from PR with huge pileups. They never heard
me.
SFL â?? Heard N4BP on both 20 and 15 and tried over and over to work him. I
think heâ??s a little deaf.
NL â?? The VO1 station was heard but propagation was never the best.
My runs on 80 amazed me for my equipment. 40 was the money band. 20 was QRM
city. Had several stations steal my run frequency, acknowledging that they
were doing so because they have high power and more rights. I mean one guy
actually told me that. 15 was QSB land and I lost several QSOâ??s because
reports could never be finished before a complete fade.
My first contest as a part of the NCCC! While Iâ??m outside the ARRL distance
circle, it still drove me to work harder. I hooked to the cluster to spot
interesting stuff, but I donâ??t think we ended up spotting very much in the
long run.
