Comments:
Radio: Ten-Tec Jupiter
Antennas: 5 band hexbeam @ 40ft & DX-LB+ short dipole @ 25 ft
Software: N1MM + MMTTY
Best 10 m opening I have experienced in ages. Time management lessons learned:
1- Decide BEFORE the contest whether you do casual operating or try a serious
effort (and stick to it!); 2- Attempts to run are hereby BARRED until better
antennas are in place (CQing for long stretches of time to have 3 "locals"
answer is not worth it - 100% S&P is more effective); 3- Uninterrupted time in
the chair is essential - more physiotherapy needed to get rid of the
post-surgery back pain; 4- Appreciate the futility of most "multiplier dreams"
and do not waste time on them: that you can hear "rare ones" does not mean they
will hear your weak signal in a pile-up...
