Comments:
Unlike previous years, I did have some technical glitches this time around. A
really borked computer kept me out for the first hour or so, then amp problems
during a very prodigious run caused me some grief on Sunday morning. I limped
through with reduced power.
Low bands were nothing to write home about Friday and Saturday nights, but
picked up nicely after dark on Sunday. A bit of life on 10 during the late
afternoon on Sunday as well, but strictly trans-equitorial. No JAs on 15 but I
did work KH0 and KH2 so not all was lost there. Also managed a few BYs and a BV
on 20, but that was it for the rare Asian entities for me.
A threatened windstorm didn't materialize during the contest but it was raining
like mad all afternoon/evening Sunday. The high wind warning that was issued
will take effect about an hour after the contest ends. That was my big
worry--having to lower the tower during the contest.
