Soap Box :
Conditions on 10 were super from here
considering where we are supposed to be in the solar
cycle !
Am sure conditions must have been better
further south ..... am slowly getting organized as SO2R
as the bits and pieces start arriving so that should
be another interesting challenge ....
CT Log indicates that operating time was about 34 hours
but think I managed to really stay awake for about 37 or 38
( that was awake not necessarily alert ! ).
Was extremely pleased at the performance of both my computer
designed and Home built OWAs.. they played beautifully and
seemed to outperform the home made monobanders I had used previously .
I guess a 20 meter version is now in the planning phase hi !
Not sure where SO2R can fit into operating under these superb
conditions.... had 18 of the 34 hours at over 100 per hour
6 over 200 .. peak 280
5 from 150 to 200
7 from 100 to 150
I guess it's an acquired skill or mebbe it's genetic with those
who excel at it hi !
Towards the end of the contest I looked often at the super combo keyer
on the shelf beside me ( not hooked up )
cleared my throat and wondered why I'm working so hard.
Ice filters arrived today so I should get slowly re-organized hi !
Now to get ready for sweepstakes ....
73 Thanks for all the Q's
C'Y'ALL next one GLWCDR
