Comments:
It seems everyone else has commented on the poor propagation so that was a
given. My K3 seemed to give me better results than my old Icom 746 but I still
need practice with it. For some reason the old Alpha 76A gave me a bit of
trouble so I used the even older Hercules 444 so total output with either amp
was about 500 watts.
I had one run of 25 minutes on 20m at an 89/hr rate but next best was on
40m at 64/hr for 45 minutes. All other runs were short and about 40/hr to
50/hr. A lot of S&P. Definitely need to reconfigure the VE7CC output to show
state-side for these types of contests.
Like Bob K8IA I was going to stop at 666 QSOs but I also wanted to break
the 400 K plateau. Then had to stop for Grandson's B'Day party so I missed
Sunday afternoon.
