Comments:
Conditions were pretty good domestic wise but poor DX wise except for Africa.
Best DX was CN2R who was booming in and a EA8 who was calling the C28
dxpedition. West coast signals were generally strong. I heard G4AMT work
KV4FZ but never heard him again. Only a couple west coast station could not
even give me a ?, an N7 and K6SRZ.
I was using an 8 vertical circle array with improved f/b by about 5 db over
previous years and that did make a little difference in hearing. For the
second receiver in the main transmitter I used SE Beverage (with little
rejection) so that alerted me if someone was calling and I needed to change
directions on the main receive array. I used an 80 meter 8 vertical circle
array on the 3 rd receiver/transmitter and I was able to listen well within
about 5 Khz of my transmit signal.
Very nice contest to test things out-thanks to the Boring Club and everyone who
made an effort to get on TB.
