Comments:
Great contest as always, conditions seemed pretty good stateside, not
much DX. The JAs were very strong Saturday morning, but I didnt realize that
until I started calling CQ and heard the response. Sunday morning JA signals
seemed
weeker and I didn't work many more, except right at my sunrise. I worked a
total of 43
over the weekend. I was very pleased to hear and work GI0KOW Saturday night at
about
1130pm my time. He wasn't very strong, but he was there. The only Eu I heard.
JT1C
called me Saturday morning, he was very strong.
I started working the contest remotely using my TS480 and SGC 500watt amp. I
decided to
drive out to the station (80miles away) and work the rest locally with my IC756
Pro II and
AL-1200. The extra 700 or so watts helped, and there is nothing like having a
keyer paddle
at your finger tips rather than a computer keyboard.
Thanks for all of the QSOs. My antenna is a 45' high inverted L over 66 1/8
wave radials;
my station is located at 3300' in the California High Desert near Victorville.
Dana, K6NR
