I Guess it goes with out saying ......... The CQWW is always the most
actively participated dx contest , and conditions were great ,
unfortunately the only down side for me was the fact that everybody was on
10 where conditions were great so as a consequence CQing on 15 was a
bit slow at times . Started out to work the test without the cluster and in
fact did manage to almost work the first day without it , however S and P
mode can be slow and does in fact affect the Q rate .... as a Consequence
I had only about 800 qsos on day one , I Know the Old adage if you're
not cqin your losing , decided that on day 2 I would stay in the chair ....
better plan hi ! worked every ZONE I heard but never did hear zones 23 and
39 .. mebbe next time .
still re-arranging my antennas so hastily put together a 4 element yagi for
15 and mounted it on what used to be my 10 meter tower seemed to work OK
EVEN AT 40 FEET.
Set up:
Rig : Elecraft K3
Amp : Alpha 87a
Ant : HB 4 ele at 40 feet
Log : N1MM
My first contest with the K3 even though I have had it for about 18 months
nice rig but seems to me it's strengths are in CW mode. Hope to be on for
CW part all bands.
Thanks for all the Qs .
C'Y'All Next one
