Comments:
A big thanks to the Kwajalein ARC for making their station available for the
weekend, Bert, V73GOD, for being a great host, and Dave, V73UX, for help
with antenna work. Also, have to thank Kimo, KH7U, for loaner equipment and
cables, and Mike, KH6ND, for his advice and encouragement.
This was my first ever serious SOABHP effort and I was thrilled with the
results. I was a little unsure how it would go once the CME occurred, but
ended up with incredible conditions through about 40 hours. Things really
slowed after that and I spent the next few hours trying to coax an opening
out of 20, and then 15 and 10. 10 finally opened with a couple hours to go
and I had good rates there through the end of the contest.
Thanks to all the guys who worked me on 40 mtrs. I've had two or three
people in the states tell me I was loud, but the G5RV was noisy and I just
wasn't hearing well on that band.
It was certainly my best contesting experience to date.
Thanks, Brian
K9QQ/KH6 (V73AZ)
This is to certify that in this contest I have operated
my transmitter within the limitations of my license and have
