Comments: This was a casual effort, mostly in honor of WRTC14 and our
great "K1KP Beam Team." The three Wimbledom finals to watch meant
I only spent about a hour off-and-on during the day in the chair.
With my modest antennas, 10M was essentially non-existent. 15M was
not much better. 20M was very noisy, as some have mentioned. It was
not much fun. Finally, after dinner, I had a chance to pay more
attention. By then 40M (reasonable) and 80M (noisy) became viable,
and the contest became fun. Although I didn't make any 160 Qs, I
did hear a few stations on my unorthodox 160 "vertical."
Even with my meager CW skills, I found myself spending more time
in the CW portions of the bands. The reported dB gain of CW over
phone is quite real!
