RIG: FT-1000MP MK-V, 100W
ANT: 250' Doublet at 40'
QSO Ratio: 76% S&P : 24% Run
160m Almost ran for 60 minutes; never worked as many North Americans in a
weekend on top band before.
80m Like top band, great condx. Delighted with QSO count as antenna is a
full wave on 80 and a real pig to load up.
40m What happened?! 40 seemed impossibly hard for me. High QRN, low MUF?
Did anyone else struggle? North Americans always seemed stronger on both 20 and
80. Rate always nose-dived each time I went to 40. Normally such a reliable
band.
20m Plenty of NA and opened especially well each afternoon.
15m Choice DX to be had but exclusively S&P.
10m Very surprised. Took a break on Sunday morning, woke at lunchtime
to find signals on 10m. All S&P.
Thanks to Tom (M0EDT) for the loan of his doublet and Marlene for her
roast chicken Sunday dinner. Manual ATU made slow QSY-ing but a great
time was had with a single wire antenna and low power.
