Mostly S&P
One of my favorite contests, and the one I have the longest
time with: my 23rd continuous annual event. The good
news -- I did better than the last time the sunspots were
this weak. Probably due to using CW -- in 1994 I was still
a Tech and was just getting back into Ham Radio after 25
years away due to marriage, kids, station wagons, dogs, etc.
Back in '94 I had a dipole strung up across the corners of my
bedroom in my bachelor apartment, with a TS-430S.
This was good practice for my still meager CW listening skills,
as I spent lots of time listening to weak CW signals. I did
capture a new country on CW -- Tonga -- and a new state on
10M CW, both already confirmed! :)
I do have to wonder, given the weak signals, if my old, HB yagi
needs some maintenance, or the coax needs replacement. It did
seem that signals were weaker than I expected.
