Comments:
This is my favourite contest on the calendar and even though the odds were
against my participation this year, I eventually managed to convince the family
to head to the beach for the weekend…I showed up with a K3 (tnx 5B4ZN) at the
nearby 5B4ES club station on Saturday morning hoping that all would be in
place…not. A monument that stood nearby for as long as I can remember and a
trusty support for our 160m wire dipole, literally disappeared after some
renovation work along with the dipole which I eventually found hacked up in a
corner. More problems were expecting me as I entered the shack but to cut a
long story short I eventually got the station ready enough to allow me to start
the contest.
Conditions were very average and with the exception of the late night openings
on 10/15m which was a pleasant surprise, things moved rather slowly and it was
unusually hard for me to get any descent run on SSB.
Second day I felt something was wrong with me as I was feeling nauseous and
towards the end of the contest muscle aches intensified. I initially attributed
this to tiredness but it ended up being a stomach bug as I very well found out
later that evening!
All in all, this was a rather eventful entry but I am glad I worked the
contest, contacted many good friends and enjoyed our amazing hobby!
