Comments:
A tough slog this year. Noise environment has gotten much worse, so hearing is
still hard. Couldn't get a run going at any time, and was rarely spotted -- a
surprise.
The 80m inv-L worked out well, but the 40m dipole isn't enough. The Orion had
some unexpected but curable hiccups. I'm sure we missed folks coming back to
us when the radio crashed.
Worked lots of new ones, including 4U1UN on 4 bands. Many more worked us on 5
bands than last year, but only KH7X got us on all 6. Being passed to 10 meters
was a cruel joke!
Partnering with W2CDO in this effort was great. Peter's excellent CW skills and
overall knowledge made up for my lack of knowhow!
