Comments:
I think VE activity was down again (maybe because I don't listen to the SSB
bands during the contest). I took more than one break because there wasn't
anyone left to work, in spite of both running and S&Ping.
(My first 'RAC' contest was the W/VE contest in Sept. 1957.)
Nary a peep from VE8 or VY0, and only 1 Q each with VO1 and VY2.
Finally got my 160m T-top vertical working, and without the plasma TV crap I
face on 80m, I did almost as well there. You should see the P3 display on 80m -
it really does look like an animated hooded monster.
A pox on random electronic radiation!
I think it's time to add an "assisted" category to the RAC contests.
I don't want to be lumped in with a multi-op station that has unlimited fresh
bodies to man/scan the bands - a totally different situation.
The new Flex 6300 was used on 6m only - it's waaaayyy too awkward to be a
serious contest radio, IMHO. I wish I had my 756 Pro III back.
