Ugh! I wanted to quit Saturday morning. Thunderstorms forced an hour =
off early, then conditions
were so bad I took a five hour break. Very loud on 80 and 40. I =
thought I'd try to make that up
with more time on 20/15 at a much better rate. This was a mistake! I =
probably lost about
80 Q's on 20...
I woke up to rates of 5-15/hour. Last year I was running EU at =
100/hour. Saturday remained dreadful. At least Sunday was pretty good.
Down 600 QSO's and 450,000 points from last year at WP2Z. Multipliers =
were up...I concentrated
on moving EVERYBODY I could for the entire contest. The Alpha 87A here =
at K4ISV's
rental on North Caicos Island makes band changes quick!
I haven't checked the QTC's and log. This may change slightly.
