I think I finally understand why K6AM and others go on DXpeditions for this
contest. It is not to supply that "rare one" for the US stations. It is go
get away from all the family stuff that prevents you from spending time on the
air!
I barely got 8 hours in the chair, and most of that was late night and early
morning. There was family this, and shopping that, and going to the #@*!^%%
airport on Sunday.
With that said, I enjoyed the time I did have on the air. With no hope of
doing anything competitive, I went after as many mults as I could find. I got
several new entities, including Mongolia, which I have heard a dozen times
before and never been able to work. I also got 24 additional band-modes;
mostly on 160 and 80. That made it a good weekend.
I looked for San Diego DX'ers to get my zone 3, but only caught K6NA on the
air. Hey -- congratulations to Wild Bill on his efforts!
I love this stuff . . .
73,
John
