Comments:
Left the cluster on, so Multi-Op, but all S&P entry and just kept trolling.
Good conditions to West Coast, but never heard KH6 or KL7. No VE6 heard, but a
few VE7s. Thanks to VK3IO for pulling me out (I hope) for a 50 pointer! Just a
whisper on the 270deg BOG. Stayed up for total EU sunrise for the first time
this season and glad I did. First EU was 9A5W with big signal at 0456Z and
closed by GM4Z at 0821Z for 22 EU QSOs. Good pipeline into Germany. Also OA4TT
at 0728Z was only SA in the log. Big periods of terrible noise with local big
snow storm and some freezing rain, but at least the antennas all stayed up.
Thanks to all the super Ops with good RX antennas....only a few alligators
found, but some EU stations have to take a break from the F1 key (CQ) and
listen! Could barely get my callsign out at 19wpm between their calls.
Frustrating....5 second minimum repeat should be built into N1MM.
Looking forward to CQ160 as Top Band conditions are definitely improving. Now
to just get JA in the log.
