Comments:
For some reason, my comments didn't come through before, and my score was all
messed up. I'll try again.
Not enough time in a busy weekend to do this one full time. But, I managed to
put together a few hours to hand out some contacts and work a little DX.
Managed to work NQ4I on all six bands within 2 hours of operating Friday
evening. Best help I could be, since I could head down to Ricks to operate.
Those guys did a tremendous job!
Heard F4DNW calling CQ on 40m for North America and listening up.
Unfortunately,
he was listening on 7151 kHz -- which isn't legal for the USA if you are
running
LSB. OOps.
Glad to hear NJ8J work PY2ADR just before I did. Ben's birthday present was
getting his radio fixed. Good to see he's putting it to good use.
Oddest moment was hearing KM9P calling CQ. I remember Bill's old call, I even
used it during the SS Phone 1995. Good to hear it on the air again.
Had one really bad moment. Called a DX station and got a report, but I had
missed his callsign. So, I asked for a repeat of his callsign. He asked for my
number. I asked again for his callsign. Somehow, this really pissed him off,
so
he said something like "Negative" and started calling CQ again. I called him
repeatedly for the next 20 minutes, but he refused to work me. At one point he
called me and asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted to make a contact.
He
said, "OK Bye", and started calling CQ again. I tuned up the band and came
back
in a half hour. He was still there, so I called him six or seven times, but
then
he disappeared.
I found the whole experience very disturbing. Extremely unsportsmanlike.
