Comments:
I have no idea how I did at this time, but feel I gave it 100%. The station all
worked well, no equipment problems.
A tough but fun 12 hours (counting the off times). I took off two 30 minute
slots in the afternoon, one at sunset (probably a bad choice as the rates were
good on 40) and 1 after dark. I left the last 2.5 hours to go straight through
as last year the LF bands were way down for me in terms of mults.
We got no storms, but the bands were noisy, and so I used the beverages for 100%
of the contacts on 40, 80, and 160. I think I could hear pretty well.
10 and 15 were very frustrating. No E skip on 10. It was open to the NE at the
start of the contest.
Thanks for several local stations for running the bands with me. Heard a lot of
local activity. Excellent.
Some random high points:
1. I heard three mults S&Ping and was able to call them blind a bit higher. All
three heard me and came back. One was KZ5D, another was WQ5L, and I can't
recall the third one. Tnx! That was cool.
2. With 15 dead, N0AV in IA was S8 on 15 meters calling CQ! That was a nice
one.
3. N6TR is a very smooth opr.
4. I must have worked 5 KS stations on 40, but forgot to ask them to try 20.
Finally remembered, but no copy on the one try.
5. Moved a LOTTA stations. Everyone quite cooperative. Pretty good success,
except on 15. The 15 meter QSO with N6TR was a real ESP job. Thanks Tree.
6. KL7WV was a good S7 on 80 meters. Nice!
7. The contest ended when K4FXN called me on 160 at 0557Z. We moved to 80 and
then to 40 for a triple KY mult in the lest two mins. Thanks Dan! That was a
super way to close out the NAQP.
