I only operated a bit on Saturday evening and on Sunday afternoon at the end of
the contest. I mostly worked 40 and 80 meters and didn't even really check the
conditions on the higher bands. I just got this new rig and it was a good
opportunity to play with it. The rig stays. :-)
While starting running on 20 meters this "well known" RTTY contester calls me
and then he procedes calling CQ on my frequency right after making the contact.
Of course I'm no match with my 100 Watts and a wire against his 1500, and
probably more, Watts. Thankfully, the CN8 trying to call me was very persistent
and we made the contact and I moved on to the gentler 40 meters. To this well
known US contester: learn some sportmanship. We really don't need that kind of
ridiculous behaviour. On the other hand its nice to learn what's really behind
the diddle. I'm very well aware he's not reading my comments. :-)
Still it was fun doing this one. Thanks to all who answered my call and those
who awarded my S&P calls with an exchange in all the diddlydaddlydo going on on
the bands.
See ya next time!
73,
