Comments:
There are a few givens in life. Death, Taxes and you will not make a
lot
of contacts with a G5RV up at 15 feet running 100 watts. What works pretty
well in
domestic situations, really sucks across the globe. But knowing that going in,
I
still manage to have tons of fun!! I did work several new countries in the
contest
and, more importantly, several new countries before the contest. With stations
checking out there set-ups, I worked a total of 10 new ones from Wednesday
through
Sunday afternoon. This contest also showed me I need to work more CW on a
casual
basis. Never did get into the flow. All in all, as always, a great time!!
I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations for
amateur radio in my country. My report is correct and true to the
best of my knowledge. I agree to be bound by the decisions of the
CQ Awards Committee.
