I was over 27 hours into the contest before I had a QSO total
that equaled what I worked in the first hour of the 2007 contest.
The only good Eskip I had all weekend was on Sunday, when I managed
three 100+ hours in a row.
I never did work Oregon or Washington, and I missed New Jersey,
Delaware, and all of New England in the northeast. I only worked
two provinces in Canada - Ontario and Quebec. All of my DX
multipliers were from North or South America this year, the first
time I've failed to find at least one Africa or Oceania station
on the band to work.
I struggled both mornings with the wind. The rotator on the 10 meter
tower has a broken brake, and the strong southerly winds kept me
from pointing the high yagi at South America as consistently as I
would have liked. I don't know that that really impacted my totals
that much, as the band was not in great shape either morning, but
it was frustrating at the time.
I borrowed an Elecraft K3 from K5PI for the second radio, but it
never really got a good workout. When the band was closed, the
vertical it was using could not hear anything, and when the band
was open, I was generally too busy to work the second radio much.
It was nice to work 10 different stations from Mexico. The contest
activity from there has been increasing for several years.
