Comments:
Had a great time trying M/S HP with Tommy WD4K. Julie and Tommy were wonderful
hosts at their nice home near Nashville. It is a real joy to work international
contests from such a fantastic station.
I (Brad) felt like I wasn't really able to do justice to this great antenna
system. I was rusty. I haven't been at a radio since February because of work
and family priorities. That said, once the cobwebs were knocked off we were
able to make a little noise. Fun was the goal, and the goal was met.
The conditions were OK overall, not great, with local device and thunderstorm
QRN hampering efforts occasionally. Our apologies to anyone who we did not
complete a QSO with due to sporadic +10 over noise. It only happened a few
times, frustrating as it was, but it could have been worse.
Asia was difficult and sparse here Saturday evening. We were waiting for a
stronger opening at EU sunrise Sunday morning on 20M but it didn't really
materialize. We will study our off-time selection and solar conditions to see
if we could have done anything more. With that stated, 40M to EU was absolutely
fantastic and loud.
>From our experience we only encountered great operators. Thanks so much each
and every one of you for the Qs...You were responsible for much fun had on this
side of the headphones.
73, Tommy WD4K and Brad WF7T
