Hi all,
Well, sadly this was a very poor effort from me.
Firstly, conditions on Saturday afternoon were very poor, and I just could
nto get a run going.
Secondly, I had an evening out with work, so had to stop around 1600UTC to
get ready.
When I got home (0030UTC), I was too tired to start again, so decided to get
up early on Sunday morning and continue then.
Good idea, but after a night out with good food and beer, that didn't work!
Got into the shack around 0715UTC and worked a few mults on 40m, and then
went to 20 and called CQ as much as possible. Conditions were a little
better, but still not great.
I was a little surprised to have W3MQ call me on 20m at 0952, as I was
beaming at 70 degrees, and I wasn't expecting any W's to be on 20m at that
time. I then got some more, which is unusual so early, but it was much
appreciated!
I also enjoyed working those I met last weekend in FN, so thanks guys, and a
pleasure to see you!
It was also great to see so many DL's taking part.
I guess I should have opted for a 6 hour session, but what the heck! It was
fun, wasn't it?
Thanks also to the DR2006 and DQ2006 stations! I added 3 more to the list,
but probably will not manage to get enough DQ's for the top award.
Thanks to the DRCG team for the contest.
Anyway, this is what I ended up with:
