Comments:
Lost my 160M Inverted L three weeks before the contest during the first heavy
wet snow storm. The antenna had a 30ft droop and the counterweight went to its
upper limit. The support rope stretched internally and finally broke at 50ft
above ground. I got the antenna back in the air 30 minutes before the contest
started.
Conditions Friday night were very good with a low noise floor. Saturday night
was completely different with S6/7 noise. Lots of folks mentioning QRN. Heard
many EU stations but they couldn't copy me this year.
This was about 80% S&P. Great fun hunting stations in the noise.
Thanks for the QSO's.
73,
Rick N1DC
