Comments:
How was the contest ..... near total disaster. Short 10 meter openings with
almost nobody there, 15 meter antenna problems, band noise, excessive qrm, you
name it, everything was below expectations. I had made my mind up to do a full
time effort if productivity was good, the 8 hours of operation says it all. I
took a long dinner break without guild, and accepted the fact that this was not
going to turn out well. Usually I can pull full callsigns out of a pileup one
after another easily, there was such constant qrm that I spent most of the time
asking for fills, that put any chances of good rates in the dumper. I did try to
move stations to 10 meters during openings but far too many of the good 15M
signals were multi operator stations suffering from the 10 minute rule. Mults
were hard to come by on 10 meters. Every 0 was in CO, every 5 in TX, and every 4
was in NC or Al. The only good thing about all this is the fun of it all, that
and the fact that there is another contest just ahead.
Thanks to all who were patient with my copy situation.
Aloha
