Comments:
Rig: Ts930s barefoot
Ante: Half-sloper fed at 9 m agl
Highlites: being called by K3ZO, W4SO and A61AR
Lowlites: being too old and having no decent antenna for serious competition.
First, I wanted to compete all the way. No matter the relatively low antenna for
top band, I did OK enough on the first nite (285 q, 51 mpl). But instead of
getting a decent sleep before the Night 2, I slept for 2 hours only, and crashed
after three hours of operating (I believe two of them were totally
unproductive). I felt bad because conditions were fine and I managed to work
some DX with my humble setup. W1FJ was the strongest USA on my S meter, but the
"Best Ears Award" goes to all who heard my tiny signal and responded with
report. It doesn't matter much now, but I tried to break CT3FN pile-up on
several band tours, but it just wouldn't crack.
I hope these lines will encourage someone with lowsy antenna like mine to
participate next year, have fun and share it with us all.
