Comments:
First serious contest from the home QTH. I had lots of fun and
learned alot about what I need to work on to make the station more
competitive in the future (a second antenna for instance). Several
amplifier shutdowns cost a lot in QSOs, but I have since learned that
this is a known problem on the amp and will get it fixed. Most
frustrating was a shutdown in the midst of a nice JA run plus one
right after working FR5DD at the beginning of long path. Only had one
bout of deliberate QRM, but lots of "QRL?" - which made me think folks
on the band were living up to the high opperating standards contesting
should produce. Most memorable moment - being called by VQ9QM via
short path for a new one that has escaped my efforts until now.
