I have to say that I love this contest. This was my 31st phone sweepstakes.
http://www.k5tr.net/ssb-ss.html
I have had some great weekends on the radio and some that were not so great.
The lowest point being last year when I had to stop because I lost my voice
after being sick for during the week prior to the contest. This year I had my
worst start in a long time and never really ever fully regained those lost
contacts. I am not sure why the start was so poor - I think it was a
combination of not getting any good frequencies on 20 meters and then having it
close fairly early forcing me to go to 40 meters. Sunday was very good for the
most part. The bands were in good shape and I had good rate. I still do not
feel very loud on 40 meters I guess I need to start saving up for some real
antennas on that band - or maybe I can just wait for some sunspots.
I have been using Elecraft K3 radios in the last few contests thanks to K5OT
and K5PI. After this weekend I can honestly say that it is a fine radio. I am
not sure how to describe it but put simply the radio sounds good - even at
narrow filter bandwidths on very crowded bands. I guess I need to start a
radio fund too.
Thanks for all the contacts and congrats to all the very fine scores out there
- nice to see some big scores from stations like WB9Z and N8II and others in
parts of the country that we do not often see in the SSB SS top ten.
I am already looking forward to the next one.
And here are a bunch of numbers created by the program CBS written by my friend
K5KA. I will miss Ken's wise words and counsel and I will miss Ken but I will
always remember him.
