Comments:
Force 12 C3 @ 40' and Alpha Delta DX-LB for 80 and 40 at 38' with drooping
ends@30'. 43' Vertical was available, not used.
Yaesu FT-990 100W WriteLog 10.88 for logging.
Checked "everything" before contest. Then on first QSO the WriteLog in use
would not do counties (Guess I ddin't check "everything") Very pleased with
WriteLog upgrade and new version, done with PayPal and immediate. Total time
lost getting updated was 30 minutes.
15 Meters was nearly useless given my conditions here, even 10 Meters was
appreciably better. With the C3 twenty ws the best band. 95% on contacts were
made running on all bands. Only a few S&P looking for multipliers. With the
SFI at 190 ... conditions remained disturbed so that Saturday the Midwest was
overwhelmingly strong on 20, Sunday most could barely be heard. On 10 Meters
Skew path was important. Most EU was worked between 75 and 90 degrees, 40
degrees off the direct path. On 20 Direct path was the rule for both domestic
and DX contacts.
Working Texas Mobiles was not good for me, too many didn't spend enough time on
40 - understandably because 20 was wide open. So finding the rare TX counties
was very hard. Most were too close in to work...
A good warmup for CQP next week!
