Comments:
My first attempt in this contest. Had a good time, but wish there was a little
more activity. I read the quirky rules several times before (and during) this
contest - and was still scratching my head as people either didn't QSY or
didn't know the exchange. Oh well...
As I am in the process of showing my QTH (it's for sale), my XYL is enforcing a
strict antenna ban. So, for this one, I drove 45 minutes to op from my parents'
house. First contest effort from dad's (KØGVG) modest shack in quite some time.
Definately less than ideal contesting setup/condx(little pistol!), but I really
wanted to get a feel for this contest and my expectations weren't too high.
Dad's ground-mounted vertical (he's quite proud of) is surrounded on three
sides in a small backyard (2 story house, and power-lines to the east & south).
35' away, a noisy pole-mounted transformer can spews S-6 noise. Anyway, thanks
for the fills and the dupe rule which allowed me to greatly increase my
score/fun by working the few I could hear (I had 38 dupes).
