Comments:
That was my attempt to make US top 3 in CQWW CW for the 5th time in a row since
2003. Although it looks like I might have made it, with K1LZ having virtually
the same score 6 hours before the end, KQ2M and probably someone else, chances
are that it will be a very close call. No matter how it's going to turn out,
however, I'm quite happy with the outcome. Partially because I fulfilled one of
my childish dreams - 80 meters CW DXCC in 48 hours without using THAT thing,
partially because I really don't see how I could've done better. Of course, I
did make some mistakes here and there but 6M seems to be the practical limit
for me in this one.
Preparations started immediately after CQWW Phone. WA3FET and I spent most of
the weekends working on the station. We got at least one rotating antenna on
each 20, 15 and 10, got all of the beverages working and what was the most
important - we found the problem with the main 40 meters antenna that was
plaguing us for the last two years. It immediately showed up in the score - my
40 numbers are finally up to pair with the other W3 landers. Friday afternoon
everything looked great - the station was just perfect, I was really motivated
and ready to go and it seemed that nothing could spoil my weekend. Then, an
hour before the contest, I started feeling my throat sore. Two hours later it
became obvious that I caught some cold while working on the beverages under the
rain on Thursday. As strange as it might sound, this really did help a lot.
Having to blow my nose off every two minutes kept me awake all 48 hours. I did
take an hour off on Sunday morning not because I was tired but just to get rid
of the headphones for awhile. The only time I felt like I don't know what I was
doing was in the early Sunday afternoon. K1LZ called to chat for a while and
then it turned out I was having troubles sending with the paddle. Getting
outside for a smoke and a short run did freshen up my head a bit and after that
I just kept the shack temperature equal to the outside one. This definitely took
care of my sleep deprivation but it felt REALLY cold.
Anyway, it was a great contest with all of its downfalls and great moments.
Congratulations to K5ZD for the fantastic score and to everyone who made it
through the end despite the operator's fatigue and equipment failures.
My sincere thanks to Jim, WA3FET for letting me operate his station and all the
help and encouragement !
73, Alex LZ4AX
