Comments:
This is our highest July QSO count, our second highest July score, and you
can guess that the Multipliers were lagging behind...
We had a great Team of Rookies and Veterans. Their dedication to keep
tuning and keep making contacts resulted in our big score. Look for K6YL
in the Rookie Roundup RTTY on August 21st.
We had an extra-large preparation job with four new computers to be setup
for RTTY and logging, and two of the radios brought in just for the contest
to be setup. Big thanks to N6DB Rebar and N6DE Dean for the radios
even though they couldn't operate with us (this time). Our only problems
with four stations for 12 hours were having to manually change-over a
feed line, and a half-dozen unexpected shut-offs from one radio - maybe
some RFI hitting some protection circuitry.
10 meters just didn't deliver. We were listening and CQing often. Aside
from the welcome locals, we only worked NH7O.
15 meters was less quirky than usual, and provided well for the first
3 hours.
20 meters was good from the start, and still providing over 9 hours later
when we finally went to 80m. We worked 14 DXCC entities, but there seemed
to be few North American DX stations.
40 meters started slow, still hours before sunset, and kept improving
right to the contest end. Our 52 Multipliers there is fantastic for
summertime!
80 meters was okay considering summertime conditions. We were pleased when
we passed 100 QSOs there.
And Thank You to the participants for all the contacts. We'd never get
so excited, exhausted, bored and pleased without all of you on the other
end of the ionosphere.
