Notes:
Worked the CW version of the contest for 1st time in over 20 years to help
club score.
Spent too much time looking for mults that I never found.
10 and 15:
Just as bad as I expected. Only an hour or so of JA's on 15.
Of course no Europe.
20:
Never got a good Eur run. Lots of JAs on.
40:
Only stayed up one night due to newly acquired illness. :-(
(going on 6 months now)
For all you neurologists out there....can you imagine a contester with
Fibromyalgia?......any ideas on how to cope with this problem without sleep?
Or do I have to start working part time domestic contests like sprint and
SS?
80: I finally worked europe on this band during a contest.
160: I finally worked somebody on this band that wasn't an XE2.
Very nice to work 3 JA's and ZD8Z here. I think my new quicky $15 dollar
antenna worked!
It took 30 minutes to put up, once I measured the wire. (A sloping vertical
is what happens
when your wire is 128 feet long but you drop it from the tower at 110
feet.....)
6 banders: PJ9C and KH6BZF. I missed the ZD8Z opening on 10.
Embarrassing Mistake:
It was Sunday afternoon, I was tired (Look up Fibromyalgia to find out
why......)
I found a huge pile-up on the S92 on 15 and called several times.
I had given up on trying to make a million pts. , so I thought it was a good
time to start playing with the second rcvr in Rich's new FT1000MP to get
an idea what 2 radio contesting might be like.
I would call the S92 every once in awhile and continual tuning with the
other knob for mults.
A while later I came back to the S92 and called again.
Hmm sounds like only 3 or 4 calling him now maybe I have a chance...
So I called again this time real aggressive.
Hmm ... now he is signing something else after his callsign....
I didnt quite get it. So I call again.....And went back to the second
rcvr looking for more mults when he doesnt answer.
A few minutes of this goes by and all of a sudden I get woken from my stupor
by the following message:
YOU ARE A LID........HE IS LISTENING UP.......YOU LID.
So I then move up, and I hear the huge pile again.
I throw in my call once.... and boom.....got him.
Thought to myself.....boy I bet that other guy is really pissed now!
Guess I should say Im sorry and thankyou at the same time......
