Comments:
It was nice to play a bit in this outing. 160M did not impress me as being great
during the evening, although by around 0500 it did quiet down a bit as I was
struggling to keep awake. I was not able to rise before sunrise and I am sure
I missed KL7 and KH6 as others reported. That said, I did work RI/UT/ID
(Thanks guys!) and look forward trying NV, AK, HI in the next go-around. Best
DX for me was KV4FZ.
I very much enjoyed working the QRP stations! By the way, my first 10 or so
QSOs were made around 2W. I was initially deflated by my lack of umph until I
realized I was messing around in a QRP effort a week or so ago. I even put down
a few more radials and my trusty G5RV-turned-Marconi is up 5 more feet to ~40'
now! Reminder to self: go through the pre-contest check-list...do I even have a
pre-contest check-list?
It was wonderful to hear familiar calls and work friends near and far. Thank
you for pulling my wee signal out of the QRN. My gratitude to the BARC for
sponsoring the test and my best to all.
