Comments:
What a great weekend to spend on the air. Lots of activity and some juicy rare
countries found their way into the log - J2 (an all time new one), 5H, V5, and
TA. Meanwhile, the snow was falling outside - nearly a foot of snow on the
ground. This was one of my best efforts in the ARRL DX CW contest from Wyoming,
and thanks to the sunspot activity and good conditions, this was all done with
single element antennas - an inverted L (160/15), dipole (80/40) and a vertical
ground plane (20). There were plenty of big signals on the bands from locals and
DX alike. This was 99% S&P - my attempts at running were met with mostly silence
although a few stations called in. P49V, PJ2T, EF8M and 6Y1LZ were 6 band QSOs.
10 meters fizzled out - never even heard KH6 but KL7RA was very strong. Quite a
few south american stations on 10 as well. Managed a difficult QSO with EF8M on
10 meters, my only African QSO there. I heard 3 other Wyoming stations.
