A few dupes in there somewhere.
Used two radios - TS850 on the left and the K3 on the right. Next SS, there
will be two K3s. This new radio continued to put smile on my face. If you
worked me on 80 or 20 meters, that was the K3.
Big thanks to W5OV at Array Solutions for sending me a pair of W3NQN filters
for 80 and 40. I remembered almost too late that I wanted to try and setup my
beverage system to work on 80 and 40 and needed some filters. Got them
overnight about an hour before the contest.
15 meters sounded very spotty from here. There were often signals that were
very loud - but there never seemed to be much activity. CQing there was almost
never as productive as being on 20 meters.
Very suprised how 20 meters seemed to go very flat around sunset (or even just
before). I do not remember that happening to me. However, 40 meters was very
productive and I almost felt like I was operating back down in Louisiana for a
few hours. I never could ever have imagined a result where I had more QSOs on
40 than 20+15.
After some recent health issues - just being in the chair for 24 hours is
enough of a victory for me. Congrats to N2IC on very STRONG WORK getting over
1500 QSOs. I imagine it would Kinda Suck going to KP4 and not winning. :-)
One loud station on 40 had some interesting artifacts with their signal that
was clearing out 700 hz of space above them (key clicks mostly). It appeared
they fixed the problem later. No excuse for that kind of signal in the SS. I
did work neck and neck with a K3 user early on 40 meters and we seemed
comfortable with each other about 300 hz away even with stronger signals.
Great to hear all the activity. I smile now when I work a check in the 30's -
or also when working ones that start with a zero, but have it figured out.
TS850S - Viewstar PT2500A - 3 element 40 @ 105 feet, 5 element 15 @ 80 fee.
K3 - Henry 2K Classic - 5 element 20 @ 72 feet, 4 square on 80.
