Soapbox :
Wind and Winter the wicked Wrecker twins decided a few weeks earlier that I
would not have a 20 meter beam
for this contest, not a big surprize just a normal winter here hi!
Conditions seemed very good , for this part of the cycle ... however I spent
most of Friday installing a wire array
for 20 meters , and fixing other antennas long after dark ..... so when contest
started I was a bit spent.
Mebbe I should go to a warm and sunny place for this contest where weather and
antenna work won't adversely affect these old bones ?.
Played mostly S&P for the contest except for a few runs on 20 and 40
nice to catch quite a few DX stns on all 6 bands...... compliments of the
opening on 10 meters on Sunday.
Always FUN to run exchange reports with a load of regular dx calls in this
contest ...one of my favourites.
Internet Connection to K1TTT's fine cluster was in operation here all week
end... think I may have to suspend that practice... kinda makes one lazy hi !
Hope to be in better shape for the SSB portion ......
Thanks for the Qs .. and
c'y'all
next one GLWCDR
