Comments:
I lost all opportunity to improve on last year's score when local electrical
noise started at 1840Z and removed 20M and up from play for me. I did very
well on 40M but not enough to compensate for the losses on 20M. Or maybe I was
subjected to something from the sun focused over my antennas. I dunno.
Best Q: VK9IR on 20M at 1215Z, 15 minutes into the contest, 9:15 AM on a rainy
Saturday morning here. HamCAP says that such a path is barely possible with my
antennas but there was no question in my mind. And I needed Lord Howe on 20M.
Gotta like it.
I regret that I did not check my total number of IOTAs before the contest
because it most certainly will have increased but I don't know by how much.
Worse, I have since over-written the back-up log and cannot reverse-engineer
the answer. One local IOTA collector with 400 Islands to his credit picked up
an incredible 13 new islands yesterday, so I likely did well.
Thanks for the Qs, and thumbs-up to the guys who will take the extra five
seconds and acknowledge the other operator by name. My favourite part of
contesting is that quick personal touch.
Equipment:
K3 #095 + P3 #007 + remotely-tuned 40M vertical + 80M dipole + 160M delta loop
(wires used multi-band with ladderline).
73,
Gary VE1RGB
