Comments:
Good year for Europe, not a good year for Es from Florida. Low power from the
Florida condo, 80M OCF up 35 feet or so. Minnesota & Arizona tops with 25
QSOs each, Colorado and California next with 22, though only two of the CA QSOs
were on SSB. Was a bit worried about that for a while. Completely missed places
like Maryland, Georgia, and Indiana.
I operated under an additional handicap. Somehow while moving some equipment
around on Friday evening there came to be 14 volts between the computer case and
the radio case, which literally fried the USB-Serial adapter. No spares, or at
least none that I wanted to risk, so for most of the contest I had no working
radio-computer interface, so no band maps being populated. After the contest I
initially found that voltage difference, and got it to go away, but no clear
explanation for why it happened.
Anyway, as always good to pass out some QSOs and run into friends.
