Comments:
Dick, K6KR, and Dean, N6BV, operated a laid-back IARU contest. We operate using
"WRTC" rules as a "multi-multi" -- meaning that we ignored the 10-minute IARU
rule designed for M/S operation. Our log is submitted thus as a Check Log.
The W7RN/K5RC station is undergoing major antenna upgrades, so we used whatever
antennas were not being worked on -- still a considerable antenna arsenal! We
had a 6L15 at 40 feet, 6L20/6L20 at 135/70 feet, 4L40 at 70 feet, and an 80-m
dipole at 100'.
All the wildfires in Northern California/Nevada wreaked not only a toll on the
forests, but they also put a lot of ash/soot on the powerline insulators. The
normally very quiet W7RN location thus was plagued with a fairly constant S7
noise level on all the bands, with the worst azimuths from 300 degrees (JA)
through Europe all the way through North down to 180 degrees.
That meant CW operation was much more effective than SSB, and it also meant
that finding HQ multipliers was considerably hampered, especially to Europe. We
could hear other W6/W7 stations working Europeans that we couldn't hear because
the Euros were just under the S5 QRN level. However, we did have some decent
140+ hours into North America!
We had 1832 QSOs into North America, 186 QSOs to Japan, 63 QSOs to Oceania, and
only 21 total QSOs to Europe. Sigh...
Tom, K5RC, and Midge, K7AFO, are fantastic hosts and they made both Dick and I
feel very much at home up on the burgeoning antenna farm above Reno. Thanks for
having us!
Thanks also to N6TV who gave us some crucial help setting up Win-Test before
the contest. Both Dick and I were impressed with Win-Test. It's a keeper.
