Comments:
Conditions not great on Saturday from 56 degrees north. DK0WCY said K Index
was 4 and A Index Showed 40 at one point I believe. 15m was a struggle and no
signals were heard on 10m. 20m went very flat and quiet around 1600z on
Saturday but 40m was open to the far east and a few nice stations were loud and
easily worked. 80m was its usual ever changing self and was a continual
challange. Sunday conditions were better overall although still no stations
were heard on 10m 20m was open to the west coast of the USA and both KL7 and
KH6 were worked just as the band went out.
Used an Elecraft K3 and an Alpha Linear to an Optibeam for 10-40m at 23m high
with a smaller beam fixed on Europe. For 80m I used a pair of phased
verticals full size with 5 different beverages.
I used Win-test and MMTTY.Having read the comments of P40X I might be
poersuaded to rejuvenate my aged PK-232MBX and give it a whirl.....
Thasnks to the organisers for a niceb Contest but could single Ops be allowed
36 hours instead of 30????
