Comments:
I had 2 goal for this contest. Work at least 200 Q's and work Japan. I put up an
inverted L since the last all 160 contest so my 100W wouldn't be waisted in the
loading coil. Friday night was going ok but only 2 DX and I wanted to add a few
more to my small DX total on the band. Sometime very early Saturday morning I
decided to look at the cluster in hopes of finding DX. Problem was that the few
DX in the spot had massive pileups going and I tried with no Joy. Did pick up a
couple states due to packet so I had to change to multi. After I worked all I
could copy on Saturday night I went to bed, about 1AM local. Set the alarm for
4AM and awoke to my best run of 26 Q's in an hour. My son woke up at 5:45AM so
I tended to his needs sitting at 198 Q's in the log and 6DX but no JA's. By
7:01 local I had him settled down but I now had daylight. Sat down to find a
few CA stations to round out 200. The first call I copied was JA3YBK. What a
treat when he came back to me the first time! What good ears. Ended up with 201
Q's and 2 JA's. I had met my goals.
