Comments:
WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO THANK OUR HOST WA3EKL ALAN AND HIS WIFE FOR ALLOWING US
INTO HIS STATION AND ALLOWING US TO COMPETE IN THIS COMPETITION.
TEN METERS TENDED TO BE IN TERRIBLE CONDITION FOR THE ENTIRE CONTEST. WE HAD
VERY FEW OPENINGS ON 15 METERS AS WELL.
THE OVERALL PROPAGATION CONDITIONS WERE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE BUT THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT ADDS TO THE OVERALL CHALLENGE.
THE BANDS OF ABSOLUTE ACTIVITY WERE 20, 40, AND 80 WITH 160 BEING THE BONUS
BAND ON THE EAST COAST.
OUR GROUP HAD SOME RELATIVELY NEW PEOPLE THAT ARE NOW ADDICTED TO CONTESTING.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS CONTEST WAS ATTEMPTED FROM THIS STATION WITH
FOUR CONTESTANTS THAT HAD NEVER OPERATED TOGETHER BEFORE.
THE EQUIPMENT AND THE OPERATORS PERFORMED WELL. THE LATEST VERSION OF THE
TR4W APPEARED TO HAVE A BUG IN IT THUS SLOWING DOWN THE RATE.
WEATHER HERE WAS HUMID.
LOCAL NOISE CONDITIONS ARE IN A CHANGING MODE WITH THE LOCAL POWER COMPANY
WORKING ON SOME OF THE POLES NOT TO FAR AWAY.
WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO THE CHALLENGES AND TO THE NEXT ONE.
UNTIL THE NEXT ONE
