Final Score = 61,776 points. Operated for about ten hours.
Comments: The only antenna available to the station was a 160 meter
sloper, so the intention was to operate for a couple of hours on 160
on Saturday night. But it turned out that not many people were on 160,
and with a tuner it was possible to get out on other bands, so a
part-time operation turned into about a half-time effort.
The amp would not turn on when operating on 15. I had expected to need
it Sunday morning to break the pileups on VO1TA and VY1EI, but 100W was
enough: (1) VO1TA tended to listen a bit off-frequency (maybe as much
as 200 Hz!). Worked him through the pileup on the first call. (2) VY1EI
kept moving up the band. I remembered this from previous years and worked
him on a new frequency before the pile caught up with him.
Never heard NE and MB; a lot of the operation was S & P. At the end
of the contest both the tuner and the cable to the antenna were very warm!
