Comments:
Was it me or were there fewer stations participating on Saturday until late
evening?
On a whim, I started on 10M expecting nothing. Condx prior to the contest were
very good to our West Coast; but that did not hold and not a lot came of 10M on
Sunday. 15M is noisy at my QTH, but results were a bit better for me than 20M.
Shockingly, the low bands which I rarely operate, due to higher noise levels,
produced well. 80M on Saturday evening kept me going a lot longer than I
thought it would...and it was the key to exceeding previous years' scores for
this S&P operator. (I have yet to establish a run from my home QTH!)
Again, not quite a sweep. :-(
Equipment:
K3 w/DVR (YAY! I can still talk.)
Al-80A
Hex Beam and 80/40M loaded dipole
