Comments:
Very limited 11 hours for this one...Had planned about 25 hours on-air, but
didn't make it...Lost all of Sunday morning at work, as 100 kph winds were
causing problems with one of our 70 metre offshore trawlers which was trying to
dock, lost Friday night fixing a washing machine that wouldn't wash, and then
Sunday afternoon my newly shingled roof on the house sprung a leak and had to
be looked after...First Murphy visit in years for me, but at least it was
during WW SSB and not WW CW...
SSB not my favourite mode by any stretch of the imagination, but it's always
fun to pick up a few goodies and chat with some stations...Always fun to pick
off the plethora of P40's, VP2's, 8P6's etc that always show up for WW on 5
bands...Propogation to SA and the Caribbean was phenominal at times...
Highlights:
-Watching other station's scores on "Livescores"...Thanks to W1VE for setting
up this web based application...Very nice...
-10 and 15 actually had some good openings...
-Rate meter hit 400 at one point...
-A 6W and 5Z calling me at the same time...
-XF4DL on 2 bands, a new one for me...
Lowpoints:
-Wind blew up my main 80 metre antenna, had to use the backup...
-Very few JA's heard...Propagation just not there...
-No Zone 1's logged...
-Listening to the many overdriven, WIDE signals taking up valuable
bandwidth...
Looking forward to SS CW and WW CW coming up...
73, Scott VE1OP
