Comments:
No antennas up yet at my new home QTH. With 1.5 hours to go before the contest,
I was still not sure if I was going to do this one from my truck, like I did for
CW weekend... or try to string up some antennas at the home QTH... or try to
guest op somewhere. Wound up with the latter... contacted local ham and
all-around great guy WV9S at 22:30z, and he said "Come on over!" Had high SWR
on 40m which required use of tuner. Overall, I thought conditions were terrible
-- could not work any east coast on 20m. Certainly was a bad contest to go low
power! But I had fun, as usual. Gotta love the SSB Sprint!!
Set-up at WV9S:
RADIO: IC-746 @ 100w
ANTENNAS:
20m: TH6DXX @ 42ft
40m: Half-sloper @40ft
80m: Half-sloper @40ft
Thanks to WV9S for the use of his station, especially with less than 2 hrs
notice! See ya'll in February, hopefully with decent antennas and high power
from my new home QTH!
