Comments:
Very different propogation than last year. From the beginning of the contest we
now believe I had a stuck T/R relay in the amplifier. The band really sounded
DEAD! I operated from 0000z until 1500z before realizing what was going on. I
must have been a real alligator - once a California station told me I had a
large number of stations calling me, but could not hear them. Some signals
still came through however, (probably the loudest ones).
I left the air at 1743z to attend my daughter's Ballerina Dance Recital, then a
Christmas Dinner, and returned at 1300z Sunday, so I missed some of the best
propagation of the weekend. Still, I had a great time operating from K5NA.
Highlights was getting ZK1CG on the second call, Good signals from Africa, and
ZF2NT calling be just before the end for a new Mult. Thanks!
