20-10m MQ26 Mini Beam @ 20'
This was tough but enjoyable. I had a nice run on 20m of about 100 North
American stations on Sunday afternoon - I love the 3 pointers! Thank you to
everyone that called me and put up with the endless 'diddy dah dah did its' on
the low bands - QRN at my QTH at times S9. A sincere apology to EI6DX who
called me with 2 minutes left, I could no longer read cw by this stage and the
poor chap had to QRS to about 5 WPM in order for me to make copy!
Lessons:
1 - Morse Runner practice for 30 minutes of every non contest day of the year
2 - Buy a rotator (or wear gloves) in order to turn the beam
3 - Check 15m and 10m every 30 minutes
4 - Stay awake for the morning opening to Asia/Pacific
5 - Buy a QTH with 10 acres
6 - Morse Runner practice for 30 minutes of every non contest day of the year
Cheers and thanks for the Q's,
Terry
