So much for Solar Cycle 24 and that wonderful 10m supply of contacts for
smalllow power stations. Two years ago I made 515 contacts resulting including
290prefix mults on 10m; but this year 10m produced only 81 contacts and
38prefixes. And, this years score was half of 2014. There were of few
otherfactors such as giving up Sunday prime time for Easter services, rain
allweekend including shutting down once for lighting and a uncooperative
rotorwhich told me when it would work instead of the other way around. We had
somuch rain that the SWR on the tribander went to 2.95 at 14330 on 20m. Funny
tosee the power meter read 34 watts instead of 96 or so.That noted, WPX is
always fun! Highlights include a 90 QSO hour on 40m with thenew 2 el antenna,
finding VKs and Zls 20db over on 20m at 2 am, working VKs on40m with just one
call with the antenna pointed to JA, finding 10m on Sundayafternoon deathly
quiet with a few SA stations calling and then working themwith one call. It
didn?t seem to make any difference where the antenna waspointed on 10m as it
came to life. Only EU/AF contacts were IR1E & CN2AA (5bands) and heard a Sicily
station that didn?t hear me. However, did work VK on10m.20 and 15m were a
struggle with tons of repeats and some busted contacts. 20malong with 40m were
my money bands while 15m was disappointing. Both 15 and 20mwere struggling to
open before I had to leave for church on Sunday so probablymissed some good
points there. 80m was a pleasant surprise considering theweather and I managed
to work most of the big EU stations heard.Thanks to everyone for the contacts
and working to get my exchange. It's alwaysfun to meet fellow contesters during
the weekend and I noted several of thePhone Frays folks in the log. Also,
thanks to CQ and the contest committee forall their work and to my lovely bride
for putting up with CQ calls late intothe night.Best - JereYaesu FT1000MP MVK
V, N1MM+, TH6-DXX, X-240 Yagi for plus dipoles for 40 &80 meters
