Thanks to John, W6LD, for putting up some new lowband antennas. With these and
other last-minute preparations we started 7 minutes late on one station and 20
minutes late on the other. We did not seem to have a good antenna for 20
meters and were consistently beaten in pileups by our tribander-wielding local
brethren. I'm sure we'll get our 205CA onto a low pole by next year to remedy
this.
This was our first effort in NAQP CW as a multi-2, so it was also a learning
experience. Our biggest mistakes: starting late, not having a 3rd operator to
do spotting, not figuring out how to make 20 meters work for us, and not
passing mults between stations. Note for next year: fix all of the above.
-Mike, N7MH
