Comments:
The last major of the year for me and the first contest of the season with no
hardware/software problems! I felt the station has finally matured after
surviving all the changes and "improvements."
Friday night's conditions on low bands were excellent. Had trouble on Sat.
night because of nearby thunderstorms and resultant static. Checked 15 meters
at 1:30 AM local and found opening into northern Europe that netted 135 Q's
until the opening died at 2:30. 10 meters was a workhorse band and never
seemed to empty itself out. Great JA openings on 10/20 along with the rest of
the world. Art N2AU did a superb job! Two old farts still having fun playing
contest.
