Comments:
My first real attempt at this contest. 8 hours was enough for a reasonable
showing; I got on for a few hours each night. Most fun was the run rate of
nearly 200 on Friday about 0400z. Heard a lot of EU I couldn't work, but with a
basic inverted L and low power there was no shame in that! Managed a fair
amount of DX anyway. Missed DC (6 miles from here...will have to operate from
there at some point!), ME, ND, NE(!), NV, MT, LAB, NB, MAN, SK, AB, VY1, VE8. I
have only one beverage (EU) but given the noise levels I used it even for
western USA, with reasonable success.
73,
Maury W3EF
