Comments:
Not quite as good as last year's 1.7M (1035 Q's) but focused mainly on
countries, and bagged a few all time new ones as well as new bands. Installed
a new 40m square vertical loop, side fed for vert polarization, top about 60',
on Friday. It was working great on 40-10 until the 4:1 balun overheated on 10m
at highpower. Made do with a good high power 1:1 version, albeit suboptimal.
Still seemed to get the job done. Had no trouble keeping up with most folks in
the pile ups. At EU sunrise Sunday morn local / JA sunset, signals on 40 were
over S9 from both directions. A new experience at this QTH. Wasn't in the
chair for Saturday morning's 10/15/20 EU run, and it shows.
All S&P with W4AX skimmers and some ol' fashioned CW reading to catch those
that don't ID as often or just never make it into a skimmer or cluster.
IC-756ProII, Power by Alpha, loops, dipoles, verticals out in the trees & N1MM
