Wow, what a contest. Between thunderstorms right overhead and
(yet another) ring rotator failure, I still managed 23.5 hours
and had a pretty good time. Fifteen meters was in decent shape
at the beginning, with twenty meters coming alive towards the
latter half. There were some good simultaneous EU and Asia
openings like in the CW WPX. Lots of things learned and more
improvements planned, as always. Still coming up short on
multipliers, but the score is much improved over last year.
This was probably my best sustained effort yet in a contest.
There are things I might do differently next time, but I felt
like I really gave it my best, which is plenty satisfying.
There sure is a lot to like about the IARU HF Championship.
Thanks for the QSOs! 73
