Awful propagation from and to this part of the world, especially on Sunday. I
heard at least 10 multipliers that I could not contact.
On Sunday, the rate was so low that I had plenty of time to chat with LU1FAM,
who was on 15 M at the other end of the operating table. He?s 20 y/o and
already a neat CW contester. We talked about past contests, about our dreams of
going on a contest expedition to some rare location for CQ WW, etc. Sunday
included a good hamburger pile up at noon, which re-charged our ?batteries?
efficiently till the end of the contest, when a classical LU- Bar-B-Q was
served by our hosts. I wanted to operate 48 hours but there were times that
nothing was heard across the band, It was completely silent.
The station performance was excellent; I ended the first day with almost 1800
Qs. I broke through several big pile ups, including those calling to stations
in zones, 2, 38, 27, 28. There were several power outages on Saturday, so we
had to go outside the house to start the generator. The biggest thrill was
being called by TF3AM near the end of the contest.
José LU5FHM makes all the antennas, they survived a hurricane on Tuesday before
the contest, and another on Friday afternoon with winds ranging from 80 to 100
miles per hour!!!! The Tuesday storm caused four fatal victims in Rosario, and
a bunch of fallen trees, damaged houses, etc.
Carlos, LU1FKR took care of everything we needed to succeed, including food,
rigs, accessories, computers, girls ;-) , etc. He didn?t even let us hook up
cables. I?ve never seen a guy like this before, he was always saying ?.. You
only have to operate the station..?!!!!
A big surprise was the discipline of all the operators I heard. Also there was
some good QRQ going on !! Including DL1IAO who called me I guess at over 65
WPM to test my ears.
I past the previous world record at 20:30 Z the second day.
My vote for best op, should go to many starting with Jim N6TJ at ZD8Z, John
W2GD at P40W, Ivo T93A at C4A, John K4BAI at 8P8Z, W2SC at 8P2A, etc, etc.
They make our lives easier picking our LP sigs out of the pile at the first
call.
Deep heart thanks to all the Bad Power Antenna Field members!!
