This is a 15m single band entry. I worked a bit of 10m and 80m as a diversion.
I thought 15m conditions were poor. The SFI dropped all weekend and the Kp
started high. Sunday was better than Saturday. With my 15m antenna I need better
conditions to have a rewarding and meaningful experience. It wasn't until Sunday
afternoon that I had much success at working EU. By then I'd diverted my
attention elsewhere, like the Indy 500 which I haven't watched in years (my bad,
I'm a Hoosier, a lapsed Hoosier, to be sure, but even so ...).
This was sort of okay as I wasn't interested in going all out. A relaxed fit
operation. Along with many others, I'm looking forward to the ARRL Int'l Digital
Contest next weekend. Inaugural contests are always fun with records set galore.
I need to conserve my resources for that event.
I'll see some of you there. Others, most definitely not.
