Comments:
First semi-serious outing from the new QTH. Lots of frantic work the weeks
before the contest hacking the station back together and stringing a few
dipoles. No decent antenna on 15 hurt again this year - there will be some
wires going up for 15 and 10 at this QTH in the near future. Took a 40 minute
break in prime time to replace the 80M balun that shorted three hours into the
contest - in the dark of course - in the woods. It was just like the good old
days but without snow. It was an easy decision to fix it on the fly - no 80M,
no score.
Raw score was 3 Qs better than last year - unscheduled times off hurt. Seems
like unlimited category is growing. Low bands were good here in GA - 80 sounded
FB even to the "Q" stns on the left coast. The QRP guys are growing in numbers
too - a good test of the old ears.
Last section was NNY - it sure looked like a non-sweep until near the end.
Thanks, once again, VY1JA.
2 X FT1000MP, 2 X Acom 2000A. Homebrew SO2R controls. Writelog. Wires in the
woods.
