Comments: Well, going from the 6/6 at W7RM to my own home 20m dipole
is a BIG change! :) I had fun nevertheless, despite not hearing much
DX.
Had to back the power down some on Sat. morning, apparently 10m not
only overloads my dad's SWL radio, but overloaded his speaker too! Of
course, after I turned the power down, he finished listening to the
BBC anyway, and forgot to tell me! Worked a few states QRP anyway.
Had fun with the impromptu nets that sprung up around 7-8 PM local
between the local big guns. Got an E-opening or something and worked
MT and CO around 10:30 PM local...a big gun here worked K1TO in FL
around then as well, but I couldn't hear him.
Couldn't get even a stateside run going Fri. or Sat, then in the last
2 hours of the contest all of the sudden everyone starting calling! A
personal best rate from home, a 53 hour for the 22Z hour on Sunday,
all on CW. That was followed by a 51 hour to end the thing.
Quite a bit of fun.
