Soap Box:
Conditions were not as good as the CQWW on ten, however with my
make shift 30 foot tower for 10M still lashed to a tree and the antenna
barely sticking
over the tree tops, I have to wonder what a real antenna system would
do from here ,? ( except keep blowing down ).
No activity from the Pacific except kh6 and AH8I who called in for a
real treat. Our Sunset is two hours ahead of Japanese sunrize so nary a
single JA , although another treat was VQ9 and E2 calling in . Plus side
of course is that we always get a pretty good jump on Europe before the
rest of North America wakes up. Unfortunately I was not expecting the band
to open much before sunrize on Saturday morning and was surprized to hear
many loud signals coming through at 1030Z, very early from Europe.
Toyed for a while to play both modes (any body can do 200/hr that mode)!
Hi!
but all that hollering felt like too much work !
The week before the contest I had constructed another three element for ten
on a 14 ft boom to place fixed Northeast on my hill top tower, however
installation weekend last week dumped 60 cms snow with gale force winds and
humungous drifts in my back garden, so much for that plan.
Ran out of people to work on Sunday so things were pretty slow , had about
1200 Qs in the bag before I quit Saturday night.
Best score have ever posted in this CW only contest for me. Managed to
do SINGLE BAND-WAS CW one week end always a big thrill, the contest within
the contest
so to speak. Figured I would miss Maine again and every time on Sunday I
worked
A New Hampshire station I moaned about the lack of Maine, eventually I
worked about
four, thanks to anybody who might have sent them my way !
No PEI or NT, kinda like sweepstakes except single band effort hi!
Worked every country I heard but there seemed to be a few easy Europeans
who never showed, would have liked a 100 but I dont see any with 100
single mode countries in any of the 3830 posts. 10 Hours with a 100 or more
but you gotta stop and do S&P STILL A DYNOSAUR (Single Radio Op)
73 Thanks for all the qsos, hope to see y'all next one GLWCDR.

Some stats just for the fun of it hi!
