Comments: Great(er) contest as usual. Close to a sweep, but still no
cigar. You would think that for as well as I scrubbed the bands that
I would have found the portable station in Mendicino! Oh well, wait
till next year. I love CQP, so I would have been there anyway,
however
I decided that I'd give the newly refurbished antenna farm the acid
test by trying to beat WA4PGM's VA record in the contest. Well I
did,
but Kyle was trying too. I finished with the same Q number that I
heard
him passing out 1/2 hour before the test ended.
Propagation was very good. Ten opened at least twice on Saturday,
but
only N6O and KC6CNV appeared to be aware of it. The opening was
quite
good on Sunday, but for the number of Q's, I have to wonder how many
of
the CA breathren and sistren missed the boat! At the opposite end of
the
scale, 160 was pure noise and 80 wasn't much better. I figured I
could
pick up some Q's an hour or so before sunrise on the east coast.
European
bcst gone on 40 should have produced more phone Q's, and reduced
noise
just at and after sunrise should have produced Q's on 80 and perhaps
even 160. But alas it appears everyone was sleeping. Hard to tell
what
the noise level was like out there also.
As always, thanks to the likes of K5RC/K7BV, W6ZXQ, N6BT, N6VV and
whoever that AA1 or whoever that was in Mendicino that I couldn't
find. Also a big
thanks to the guys who aren't contesters who still put up with this
nonsense to put some of the rarer counties on the air. You sure make
it
a lot more fun. Maybe it's just as well that I have never had a
sweep.
That would probably mark the end of CQP for me!!!!! See y'all next
year.
