Excuses, Excuses, Excuses! I thought I would need a lot of them when I heard
how well Nate, NR3X,was doing. I'm glad he was in Maine instead of North
Carolina - it makes me feel better. Anyway, congratulations Nate on the great
score.
Friday, I lost about twenty minutes because of a problem with the internet
connection at the farm. Since WAE doesn't have single operator categories,
internet connectivity is essential. I ended up using my cell phone as a
hotspot. 80 meters was a struggle Friday night but the sunrise opening to
Europe on 40 was very good.
I started too early on 20 meters Saturday morning. I should have extended my
off-time, but I heard stations to the North running Europe and thought I could
to. Then, I didn't want to stop and take a full hour in case 20 opened.
Lesson learned, again. I should take the last couple of hours on Sunday
afternoon off!
Saturday night started with incredible rain static. Fortunately, I had a
beverage and receive four square - and they helped, but the heavy rain came
with a severe thunderstorm. I lost about an hour and a half early Saturday
night due to lightning and struggled with the high level of QRN for much of the
evening.
Sunday morning, I was running on 20 meters. I had worked 49 countries on 20 at
that point and was called by THREE multipliers in a row. THREE: Estonia,
Gibralter, and Kaliningrad. Very cool.
15 opened Sunday - almost every QSO I had was "skew path" over North
Africa but I picked up lots of multipliers. Many of the stations on were weak
but there was the occasional very loud signal. It stayed open most of the
afternoon but I couldn't establish a good rate calling CQ for long.
Never heard any Europe on 10 meters. RU1A asked me to move but I couldn't hear
him either.
Thanks to John Evans for letting me use his great station. No excuses due to
the station - everything worked well.
See you in WAE SSB. Hourly rates and QSOs by country follow.

Mark, KD4D
