Comments:
An exhilarating contest. I was waiting for 10M followed by 15M to close for the
evening but that never happened. So, kept up on the high bands working JA's.
The 80M 4-SQ worked well in its first contest helped by quiet conditions.
However since all the bsnds were hopping it didn't get enough air time. Both
80M Beverages are down under tree limbs from Irene so glad for the quiet
conditions.
I was startled at about 9 AM Saturday EDST when a loud Klaxxon horn sounded. It
was from IonoProbe running in the background. It was red with a warning "Solar
Radiation Storm - Radio Blackout". Then band went dead for nearly an hour.
Hard to find time to sleep without feeling guilty. A promised chauffer trip
cost two hours of operating time during Sunday afternoon action.
SO1R.
MonstIR, 80M 4-SQ, K3, Alpha 9500, N1MM and MMTTY all played well for best CQWW
RTTY contest score - helped mostly by band conditions.
Thanks for the Q's!
73,
Bud W3LL
