Comments:
Had 90 band changes.
Seemed like there was good activity.
20 meters was fairly good as was 40 meters... but the brakes were put on when
it came time to go to 80 meters. It felt like I was operating 160 meters with
100 watts in the August NAQP contest. Kept hearing the same 40 stations or so
- with occasional QSOs with stations on the east coast. Seems local QRN was
part of the issue as stations seemed to hear me better than I was hearing them.
This is likely the worst QSO total on 80 meters I have had from Oregon.
Heard VE7 on 40 - but couldn't connect. Nice to work VE9, XE2, NP2 and KL7.
And of course - by having a backup amplifier ready to switch in on a moment's
notice - I had no amp issues unlike last time.
