Comments:
Juggled the family and a full holiday weekend and still managed to run in
and out of the shack enough to get credit for 24 hours of operating. It sure
didn't seem like that.
I'm very pleased with my numbers on 160 and 80, which show that all
the antenna work of the past few years has not been in vain in my suburban
back yard. 40 was still difficult for me. The high bands simply suffered
because I didn't have time to sit in front of the radio during daylight.
I started the contest with 15 minutes of CQ's on 80 meters and then broke away
to give the 2 year old a bath and put her to bed. I went all night the first
night because that usually means no QRM from the family...but my new son
decided to have a really bad cold, so that had me and the XYL hopping. The two
year old now gets up right at sunrise, so those early 20 and 15 meter openings
to Europe are a complete disaster! (When you are playing "tag" in the basement
with the kid during the 12 and 13z hours, you aren't making QSO's!)
Some personal highlights included 3 new countries on 160 meters, lots of fun
on
80 meters, but deep Eastern Europe was rough. I worked a zone 16 on 40 meters
over an hour after my local sunrise and broke a pileup for a ZS4TX double
mult.
On 20, 5Z1A gave me an all-time new DXCC. On 15, I got lucky to find a lonely
V51AS - later he had a pileup that was just ugly. I worked 6V7D during my few
minutes on 10 meters (and also had him on 80.)
Hope to see you in the ARRL 160 and 10 meter contests.
