Comments:
Started the effort just trying to fill in holes in my DXCC standing. On that
score, I did tolerably - 35 or so were on the air that I needed, and I netted
about 15, between the 'test and the week prior.
I put in an hour or two here and there during a weekend of trying to tie up
loose ends on unfinished projects. A few projects did get finished, and when I
hit QSO #200 and got over 100,000 points at the same moment, I figured that was
good enough for not really trying, hi. But spotted Scotland on 15 and had to
go get him.
TS-850SAT, Heathkit amp at 700 watts, and a moss-covered HF9V with a mostly
broken-by-falling-tree-branches elevated radial system. For a station that's
experienced "delayed maintenance", I felt it did a good job.
It was a lot of fun, particularly the last two hours, when I saw the rate
meter, for ten minutes, bump up over 100 a few times - I didn't know I could
S&P that fast!
73,
Dave W8NF
