Good Day All,
I suspected that maybe the newly-installed phased array here wasn't all that I
had thought it to be, last night, when I casually chased "G" stations in the
RSGB 160-meter contest...I ended-up with only 5 good & valid QSOs --- but I
very easily could have had at least that many more, had my calls to some
stations been successful (and a few of the participants that I was calling had
some very impressive signals, too)...
My faith was readily restored again this morning, however: it started-out with
a QSO with NL7Z (Kevin), and continued on with contacts with VK3ZL (Bob), VK6HD
(Mike), VK6VZ (Steve), & VK2BJ (Steve) --- all good, unbroken QSOs, too!
Now, I realize that this is all "small potatoes" to the majority of the
readership, but to a traditionally "...small spud" like yours truly, this is
all very heady stuff, indeed --- and an absolutely great way to start the
day...!
