Comments:
It was a strange way to do FD. I miss working with others to set up a station.
I entered as 1E so I wouldn't be under time pressure launching antennas into
trees. I ended up with a 20M 2 element wire beam, a 40M dipole, an 80M dipole,
and a 3 element 2M Yagi/Uda. There was coax and power running through an open
window, and coax running up 2 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor for the 2M
antenna.
The K3 and P3 performed a lot better than the operator, who kept making stupid
mistakes and losing time figuring out the corrections.
For me, this was S&P all the way. For someone who "doesn't do CW",
I sure spent a lot of time in that mode.
I go a couple of 15M QSOs at the start of the contest, but 15 really came into
its own on Sunday, starting about 1300z. I spent some time on 20M FT4 and phone,
but decided, "Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded." (Berra)
and went back to 15 which improved my rate.
DX included 3 F, 1 G, 1 S5, 1 HA, and 1 8P.
Conditions to the west coast were poor.
I calculate my final FD score as 2042, including the bonuses.
