Comments:
A very difficult contest due to poor conditions. Only 8 north american
stations worked (6 W and 2 VE, all on saturday evening) and XE1V was the
only Mexical on Sunday afternoon. Also very few Japanese stations.
I was glad to meet on the air K4WW, GU0SUP (on 3 bands), OK1YM (two
bands), SV1BDO and others.
As propagation was poor I slept at night, plus during local
afternoon! I gave up at about 1800 on Sunday evening, as the QSO rate
dropped. Afterward I worked a handfull of QSOs, the last one at
1936.
I managed to increase output power a little, so the setup was:
Radio: IC-706 MkII (running @ 10W output)
Amplifier: KL-500 on 25A psu (running @ 150W output)
Antenna tuner: MFJ-971
Antenna: multiband vertical (40-20-15-10)
NVIS dipole (80-40)
Software: Writelog 10.36G + MMTTY
See you next week, in the WPX contest.
