Thanks to Steve PJ4DX and Eva for kind hosting and support of our operation from
the Kas Iguana (Iguana House) garden! Bert PJ4KY loaned us an amplifier -
mahalo. Dave PJ4VHF provided a crucial resistor for a receiving loop. Robert
S53R flew in from Rome and ate the bands UP - a QSO machine! And thanks to
Peter PJ4NX for keeping all the stuff between contests :-)
40 meters was just ridiculous all weekend! 20 meters wasn't too shabby either
although the polar path was just too week - another few points of flux and we
would have experienced a deep opening to Zone 25/24. And the low bands - yikes!
Great conditions for a deep solar minimum. Nothing like a quiet ionosphere.
The station punches well above its weight. Spiderbeam and Hexbeam at 30 feet
for 20/15/10. Pair of phased verticals and a dipole at 30 feet for 40 meters.
Full-size vertical for 80 meters. Inverted vee for 160. K9AY loop for receive
on 160/80. Rigs were both FT-5000 with Acom 1500 and Alpha 9500 amps. We ran
N1MM+ for logging software.
Thanks to all for QSOs. Sorry about the late report - we had a computer hiccup
due to failing USB ports and it took Brad WF7T a couple of days to get the
complete log put back together and verified. Then it took me a couple of more
days to stop procrastinating and post the results :-)
73, Ward N0AX
