Comments:
Thanks, as always to John Evans N3HBX for letting me use the Poolesville
station.
Decent condx; low bands were tough for me this year. 40 SSB is clearly now the
most difficult and contested portion of the amateur spectrum. Frankly, I think
I liked it better when the BC stations were there. Tried some different
strategies. Took my break later in the night Sunday = fail; focused heavily on
15 meters the first day = win; tried to move everything that I thought was
exotic (5X, GZ, etc.) = win; thought I could successfully get to 20 early and
hold a frequency = fail; tried to work a JA on 80 = fail; completely forgetting
to check 10 meters late Saturday = fail; calling an IR9 on 10 and was
immediately called by ST2AR = win (my apologies to the IR9); having fun = win.
Congrats to K1DG! I need to write a memo to N3HBX to ask him why his station
was built in Maryland as opposed to, say, Maine or Rhode Island (ha ha!).
