Comments:
CQ WW CW sure is fun, even for little guys like me with no towers.
I did as much as I could, even though eight hours of Saturday were wiped out by
family activities. I went all night on the first night. 40 meters worked very
well for me, but I was having issues on 80 meters. Last year, I had 234-19-78
on 80 meters...this year, I could barely make 50 QSO's. The antennas are all
the same, but obviously, something isn't working right. I felt weak during the
ARRL Sweepstakes, but I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong.
40 meters is working better thanks to a new dipole in the trees, so that made
up for 80. One of my contest highlights was on 80 meters, as I worked a JA for
a double mult well after sunrise. I also worked my first Zone 40 station ever
(OX5AA) on both 20 and 40. I worked 28 of the 40 zones, which is a personal
best.
If I could only work one contest a year, this would be it. Thanks to everyone
for all the contacts and for pulling out my LP signal.
