Comments:
What a way to waste a weekend. This was just plain
brutal. Except for three CO and one AZ QSO, I never got
out of CA. What's worse, didn't hear anything else outside
of CA either. Real bummer. Let's see, 65 QSOs divided by
17 hours gives a rate a bit less than 4 QSOs per hour.
Thank goodness I didn't have to give up any sleeping
hours for this contest.
I put up three 10m bisquares at roughly 60 degrees from
each other to give all around coverage, but never really
got a chance to try them out. They might as well have
been three different dummy loads for all the good they
did me. They look really good on paper, and I was real
eager to use them on the air.
While CQing for hours this weekend, I managed to work my
way through three volumes of Pat Hawker's RSGB TechTopics
notebooks. Found some interesting ideas to play with later.
With SFI in the 80s, I sure expected better. Guess there
is still too much I don't know about propagation :-)
Anyway, I hope you all did better than I did.
Hope to work you in another contest soon.
73, Bob N6WG
