> Wow! This was really something. Only my second time as DX and first time as
> DX in CQWW. I arrived at KH6ZM's QTH late Tuesday, giving me all day
> Wednesday/Thursday to learn the equipment setup and check propagation. I had
> to move slowly with the hardware to keep from blowing something up! The
> pre-contest operating was wild. With a relatively small number of operations
> on pileups were huge. The over-the-pole propagation to EU was very
> interesting. Lots of mush on the signals and many signals of similar strength
> sometimes making even getting a partial call-sign a challenge. D4C called me
> on
> 160m the night before the contest, the pre-contest highlight.
>
> The contest was lots of fun. Picking calls out of the pileups is still a
> challenge. I'm just not used to it. Eventually, I got better with using the
> RIT and it was easier but I still need lots of work. I would have had two
> more
> hours operating time but I had hit a switch by accident and couldn't get
> anything to work. Finally discovered what had happened and all was well again
> except I lost two hours. I had a fantastic time working 10m/15m long-path to
> EU. My first time working LP on 10m/15m and it was unbelievably COOL. LP
> conditions better on the first night of the contest but second night was still
> very good. Missed many multipliers because the runs were too good to leave.
> Unusual for me because my normal Q-rates are so low I'm usually trying to get
> multipliers. Not so in this contest. Among the contest highlights I think
> the
> best one is working all 40 zones on 15m. Thanks VK6LW with less than 2 hour
> remaining in the test!!!
>
> There's just so much to say about this experience. Being DX helps, having
> real
> antennas helps. This was the realization of a long-time ham radio dream for
> me:
> Being DX in CQWW! I hope it's not the last time. I don't think it will be.
>
> It was really great getting to work so many old friends from the DX-side.
> Thank you all for calling and thanks to everyone else for your Qs, too.
>
> And, finally, many thanks to Max and Kathy for hosting me. Besides being
> gracious hosts they are both very good cooks, a point that can't be emphasized
> enough. In addition to learning LOTS about contesting from Max, he also
> shared
> a secret with me that I will use the next time I make homemade limoncello.
