SOAP :Running low power in a dx contest like this one from california is
brutal..at least at this part of the cycle..My 1st 24 hours went well and i
was focused..After my 1st break,i really had a hard time keeping at it..rate
was slow and i kept wishing my neighbors would let me use high power..beat
last years score with much worse conditions so in general i was happy..most
of the contest was spent S&Ping but had a few nice runs on 20 and 40m to
japan..
HIGHLITES: ZF2ND spending the time to pull me out on 160..new band country!
nice 10m opening on sunday..good for us low pwr guys.
LOWLITES: had 2 rfi complaints from my neighbor when i was on 10m..had to use
my 15m beam on 10m for half an hour..wasn't fun..when i was in the s&p
mode,which was most of the time..spent way too much time waiting for guys to
give their call!!!why do they do this??think this problem is getting
worse..any opinions on this??
