Officially put in 30 hours but more like 24 hours as I was a little too casual
and there were lots of one- or two-hour breaks along the way. Had a good time
-- high bands were very strong on Saturday and pretty good Sunday. The
exception was 20M which I mostly skipped on Saturday and found disappointing
when I did spend time on 20M on Sunday.
Left the yagi at 27 feet AGL as it was breezy at times over the weekend. That
can hurt me on the European path unless conditions are truly wide open at they
were on 15M(then it doesn't seem to matter quite as much). Missed any VK
activity if there was any -- sure could have used the mults.
Was also disappointed in 40M in the hours I was on as Europe wasn't pounding in
as it has lately, and there was no grand opening to JA other than some sporadic
activity for a few mults before daybreak on Sunday.
First time breaking through 1M in this contest. I see VE7SZ and VA7KO had
really great weekends -- good going guys!
Thanks to BARTG for the contest, and to all for the contacts.
