Comments:
A reasonably successful outing for the MN QSO Party in 2019. The polar vortex
lifted just in time to let me set up the car in 17F temps (instead of -17F). All
the roads were in good shape and no mechanical issues came up. My only problem
was during the last hour of the contest. A heavy fog set in and my screwdriver
refused to tune on 80M in the fog. I thought the antenna was icing but I stopped
and it was just wet but still wouldn't tune. So I lost some time and rate on 80M
at the end.
QSO rates did their typical midday swoon but it seemed a little deeper this
year. I also lost rate the last hour messing with the antenna.
