Comments:
Such a perfect weekend. The time passed so quickly that I was almost wishing for
more. Really good fun. Nice to be in such a good company on livescores. Congrats
to all above and below me!
160m vertical (32m high, 100 radial), 80m vertical (full size) and 80m NA 2el
vertical loop worked really good. I could break all the pileups with a few
calls. With 4 beverages I could also hear really well. Have you noticed S53M-#
skimmer spots? Always among the first to spot some rare DX.
On 40m I was a bit handicapped as our 4el KLM monobander at 50m height is out of
order and I had only OB17-4 at 27m and a single vertical. Well, also not bad :)
On Saturday around 19Z I had some serious abdominal (stomach) issues with pain
and strong headache that forced me to vomit from the balcony - I hope nobody saw
me :) I guess some bad food or something as this never happens to me. I needed
to take a rest for 4 hours and after I woke up I was feeling much better so I
decided to continue. That was my only time-off.
Only one issue bothers me. I get really bad at copying CW when tired or my brain
is focusing on something else (second radio, computer issues, etc). I hope with
practice this will go away as I really hate asking for repeats.
Thanks to all the S53M/S59DBC club members - we have built a really good station
& we will continue to do so in future. Congrats also to TK0C field day style
guys for beating everybody with just fishing rods and wires. And some salt
water.
