Comments:
As the saying goes â??plans are made for changingâ??. Such was the case with
this yearâ??s SS Phone. The intent was to make a serious attempt and see how
the station would play. That plan quickly changed as I was standing on the top
of the tower at the start of the contest. I wouldnâ??t finish until two hours
later and pretty much beat from said antenna work. I can tell myself that I
wonâ??t have to deal with that bad feed line and balun againâ?¦
Regardless I had a good time; conditions were pretty good for our part of the
country. And the station seemed to play pretty well. Got to 20m early on
Sunday, with the band being long I had some EU call me from time to time.
Biggest surprise was EP4MRG calling in with a 559 report!
Biggest downer of the weekend was hearing of K5KAâ??s passing. Ken was a class
act and a gentleman, may he rest in peace.
