Comments:
100 W, Dipole at 10 m, keyed entirely on a Vibroplex bug.
I wasn't able to operate Friday night due to other commitments, but was on the
air around sunset on Saturday. Coming in to the contest exhausted, I wasn't
able to stay up as late as I might have liked. I heard a bit of European DX
(TM6M and OM2VL)m but wasn't able to work them. Sunday morning I got up early,
and was able to have another productive run in the pre-dawn hours. When the run
fizzled out, I picked my way through the band, finding a few JAs and a UA0. I
wasn't able to get through to any of them initially, but after coming back in a
few minutes, got two JAs and the UA0 in the log---not bad for 100 W and a low
dipole!
While I missed a bunch of sections, I only missed three states: AK, NE, and NV.
I was surprised by the absence of Nebraska in the log. I missed a lot of
sections in CA, and heard very few west coast stations---perhaps I should have
stayed up later Saturday night, but it makes the morning that much tougher.
Overall conditions seemed to be quite good, with little noise and generally
strong, steady signals.
