Comments:
Slow start friday evening as the bands were not at their best from here as if I
was just not getting out. Different story in the morning as 10 and 15 made up
for the gap and by the 10th operating hour I was back on track with 1000Qs in
the log. I took a brake as rates fell below 90/hr thinking I could keep the
pace later. Conditions changed for the worse and from there it was a chasing
game. Really wanted to come down with a great score but no matter how hard I
tried I was just unable to keep pace. Long streches lonely cqing with the scope
showing endless sigs left and right of me ha ha! Well that's the price you pay
when you enter these in LP. When things work out and the run is going well you
feel like a million $ , when it slows down and the guys chase you away from
your running frequency...well it's another story.
With this in mind I have to thank a german station that parked almost on top of
me and was killing my run but when I zero beat and told him, he was very polite
excused himself and QSYed on the spot! Thanks OM you are a gentleman. More of
this behaviour is needed for all of us to keep enjoing the sport.
It was great to see all of you some of whom I may have not recognized because
using a special call for the event.
Glad to have done better than last year (on paper), we'll see after log
correction.
73, Fabi va2up
