Comments:
It was my first Stew Perry ever. By some reason never I've never paid much
attention to it and now I'm regretting the missed fun. I can not comp lain
about conditions during the contest - the band was open to everywhere and
thunder crashes were not as bad as usual. No RX antennas were used and that was
my major disadvantage. I heard bunch of people calling and yet couldn't make out
their calls despite all my efforts. There is only one conclusion - make RX ants
as soon as possible? especially now knowing the fact that we are heard all over
the place.
My apologies to Greg, ZL3IX and a few others whom I tortured for minutes
fishing out their calls from the fast-fading, noisy swamp of the band. This
year the band opened 1 hour before our sunrise with KV4FZ working NA. 15
minutes later I was able to log my first station. First Eu worked was Tobi,
DH1TW popping out from the noise. First Hawaiian, NH7O called way before usual
time with reasonably strong signal at 04 something. Europe was scarce - G4AMT,
G3PQA, OH2BO, OH1RX, OH1ND, LY2BAW, DL6FBL, DL5AXX,9A5W and few others. KH6AT,
NH7O, KH6LC, K9FD/KH6 were all loud. KL7RA, AL7TC came up to s9+. JA8ISU? Kazu
and JA3YBK were the only JA's I managed to pull out. It was good to hear many
old friens. Season greetings and CU in CQ WW 160 with better RX at this end.
Alex, HC2AO
