Comments:
In a weekend planned for WPX, the XYL had other plans, and the weekend quickly
became a weekend of "honey-dos" and family time (no complaints about
the family time). Since I don't have a permanent station (every contest is Field
Day for me!), I didn't even get a chance to set up the antenna and rig outside
on the lanai until around 2200Z on Saturday. Chores done, kids in bed, I
managed to get on the air just shy of 0145Z, on Sunday, with over half of the
contest over!
Since I only have dipoles, and since it was already late, I decided to
concentrate only on 40m, which meant I didn't have to waste time changing dipole
elements. Of course, this would be the contest where I hear that 20m was
"The Place" to be!
After 100 Qs of mostly S&P, I called it quits. It wasn't until 1800Z Sunday
when I finally got time again, but the bands went from the complete chaos of the
night to silence during the local afternoon. I managed to get 25 more Qs between
other honey-dos before the competition was over. Still fun and added to my DXCC
count; any radio time is always appreciated.
Here's hoping next year will be less honey-dos and more Qs!
