Comments:
Strictly S & P ... actually started out to do 80/80 and stopped that nonsense
at 74 /74 elected then to do band sweeps and just work anybody I had not
already logged .......strangely enough last two sections were VE3 and
then NLI ...
worked two NLI's back to back on 20 go figure Was a small part of one of
the VY1 pileups and quickly remembered why I elected not to CQ .... in
his defence I really do not know how he is expected to copy when the people
in line keep calling over the other station's exchange. I did read a few
comments from some Hard Core Sweeps vets ... pissing and moaning about his
methods .... I thought he handled himself quite well when you consider
his check was 2006 hardly a seasoned veteran ..... Kudos to him for having
the courage to face the onslaught !! Baptism by fire ... been there done
that ..
stumbled across him CQin on 10 later on with a 20 over sig so was easy at
that point !! Also came across Frank VO1HP who provided me with MY VO he
actually was doing the pileup by numbers at one point a la dxpedition
style. Also heard VO1BQ Joe and Wayne VO1TA in search and pounce mode ...
so there were a few of us on . Hope to get on for the SSB portion and then
the CQWWCW before I go warm my bones somewhere warmer.
Station set up :
K3 driving Alpha 87a
Home Brewed monobanders for 10/15/20
wires for 40/40
N1MM logging
K3 and the selection of filters I have in it really play well
in CW and heavy QRM
Hope to C'Y'all Next one
