Final Score = 466,500 points. About 26 hours operating time.
IC-761, PRO57A @ 100', AL-811 400W out max (not enough!)
My first time in this contest. I wasn't even planning to operate, then
decided to try it out the night before. What a blast, and without super
condx. I can't imagine what it must be like with a healthy flux number!
Couple of good Es openings, including one to the west coast on Sunday PM
that was wery strong. Most unusual QSO: I worked my neighbor, WB4QDA.
He heard me coming through his big screen TV audio, and then found me on
10 meters. He worked me using a dummy load, and was 30 dB over S9.
Thanks for the contact John, and for using a dummy load to save my front
end!! This may be the first case of TVI actually *causing* a contest QSO!
Many Tennessee stations worked -- it's great to have so many folks active.
Best DX was surely N7ET/DU7, via long path at 1405Z, my 1st 10m LP QSO.
Thanks Dale! VY1JA calling in for the YU mult was a great surprise too.
Thanks J! Lots of interesting African stations on as well. Other
interesting DX included FK8, V73 and KH0. First day was much better
condx overall. I wish I'd operated harder the first day -- could have
scored much better. Still had some great fun the second day. Great east
coast Es opening made the last two hours a blast. Ten meters is cool!
Look forward to doing this one again. Thanks for the QSOs!
