Comments:
K3 at 100 Watts into Inverted L
Score calculated by WinTest logging -- not adjusted for QRP and LP stations.
92% of QSOs via CQs. Activity seemed very low when tuned across the band.
Best DX worked was KV4FZ (Thanks Herb -- also for the recent 6m QSO).
Most QSOs central and eastern USA.
Very few western USA stations heard (none on west coast).
Discovered that the Hi-Z, 3-element, receive antenna array did not work. It
was last used about 2 months ago, and it had worked very well all winter and
spring. Suspect possible ESD damage from Thunderstorms in recent weeks.
Fortunately, the EWE and reversible window line RX antennas were useable.
Noise level not as bad as in past few summer Stew events. Fortunately, no
T-storms in the area this time.
Thanks for the Qs. Top Band is fun anytime.
73,
Gary . K9MMS
