Comments:
Excellent conditions on the first night, quieter the second but still good
signals around. Its been quite a while since I did a sustained effort in a CW
Contest and over the weekend two things were confirmed for me. Firstly rx
antennas are a must, I know I lost quite a few contacts by not being able to
pull the callsigns out of the static crashes or qrm - my apologies to those
people. Secondly my CW is officially dreadful, at my best I was never a
particularly good code exponent but it has really gone to the dogs this last
couple of years. I had quite a few Homer Simpson DOH! moments when someone
would send a perfectly clear callsign but my brain just failed to process it,
very frustrating !
A few beverages and a quite a few hours spent on a cw simulator are badly
needed.
Many Thanks for the contacts and the patience shown to my constant repeat
requests.
I will upload the log to LoTW later this evening.
