Comments:
Dink, N7WA let me run this one from his station alone this year breaking a 5
year tradition of doing this as a multi single. It seems like he weighed the
options. Do I do yard work around the house or the IARU from the PAC NW at
the bottom of the cycle in mid July?
I guess I'm just a masochist. As usual he and his XYL Diane, KB7DNE were
gracious hosts, allowing me to run wires across the lawn and hang even more
wires on the tower. Thanks guys.
I thought 40 and 80 sounded fairly good at the start. The A index was slated
to go to 20. It appears that the worst of it hit just before the contest
started and then it tapered off. I thought 80 sounded great. The amp died
late Sat night so I was limited to low power on 40/80 for the large majority of
the low band action. I did have some DX call in during my LP CW runs. I was
shocked when a YN station called me. I also had one or two PY's call in as
well. The antenna was an inverted vee for 80 (albeit a nice one peaking at 90
ft).
40 was decent but not great. I had a YB call in while running early Sat
morning. It was also cool to work ZD8Z at his sunrise on 40M (Jim N6TJ). No
EU although I heard OM8HQ fairly loud.
Not much DX on 20. Some EU but no EU runs. A high point on 20 was when EL2DX
called in. That is a new one for me.
15 sounded like 10 did 2 years ago. I worked very little DX on 15. Almost all
of the Q's were stateside.
10, well... zippo. I did manage to work one of my club mates about 20 miles
away for a quick mult.
The equipment failures put a damper on the score, but that is the way it goes
sometimes.
See you in CQWW CW from VP5W.
73 - Guy, N7ZG
