Comments:
It has been many years since I operated a single-op all band effort in the ARRL
DX Contest. This sure is a difficult way to earn WRTC points. :-)
The low bands were great. Highlight was a brief but fantastic long path
opening to Europe on both 80m and 40m, at local sunrise. That was fun! HA5JI
and IZ4EFN already sent me nice some audio recordings of my signal.
The other highlight was working BA6QH on 40m -- he was running < 1 Watt
output!
Lowlight was 10m -- almost no propagation here, plus line noise. 15m was
better but the openings were limited.
Rig: FT-1000MP (2), Alpha 86, Alpha 87A, 1500W
Tx Ant: 5 el 10, 5 el 15, 5 el 20, 3 el 40, 1 el 80 (rotary), Shunt-fed tower

SO2R: microHAM MK2R+

Many thanks to all the DX who make this contest fun for the stateside guys. I
hope it was fun for you as well.
73,
Bob, N6TV
