Comments:
All goals are meant to be broken. In this case I had a personal worst...
It was a busy weekend with fall cleanup of our Maine home on the docket,
so I did not spend a lot of time. This probably saved me much frustration!
160 was noisy and with only 3 Qs much worse than usual.
80 was about the same as always.
40 was active, with too much QRM for my vertical to cut through,
and I did worse then normal.
20 was very active -- LP and a simple wire dipole did not cut it,
and I did much worse than usual.
15 -- lots of signals and spots. Using a 40M vertical on 15 for
DX is crazy -- isn't that the definition of doing the same
thing and expecting different results? But it was my
most productive band.
10 looked busy with lots of spots, but with just a dipole it was a
failure with only one Q - thanks KC1XX!
We continue to look for our next home here, where I plan on real antennas.
