________________
First time without a sweep. Missed NWT (never heard) and last
mult was KP2N on 15m answering my CQ. One of two efforts
from this location with K3CQ running High Power sharing the
same antennas with the help of the fabulous WX0B Six-Pak and ICE
bandpass filters. Got off to a slow start and never got it back.
Concentrated on log accuracy and dupe notification. Only logged 2
dupes and confidence is high on the exchanges. Almost ditched the
idea of the 2nd radio when I realized there wasn't a way to connect
it up to the system when sharing with another separate station, but
decided to dedicate the 160m L and tuner attached to the IC-735.
Had set a goal of 1000 q's but came up just a little short. Took
a bunch of short breaks.
I missed ordering my "Sweep Cups" last year for both CW and SSB,
but have plenty of spares from 1996 and 1997, so if anyone would
like to swap or sell any spares, I would like to keep the
collection running. Missed NWT this year for the sweep, but from
what I can tell, it wasn't due to lack of participation!
Highlights: 1. Working a "Q" power KL7 on 15M. (Actually working
any KL7/KL9 is always seems like majic to me!) 2. A total of 272K
points contributed toward the TCG Club score from this location!
