Comments:
Things actually turned out pretty good for me this weekend. The XYL was out of
town with friends, so I played Mr. Mom with the two harmonics (3 and 1) and
still managed to squeeze in a lot of time in the shack. I hated to turn off
the rig with four hours left to go while 10 meters open, but that was the
family schedule.
After the 2006 CQ WW contests, it was obvious that 40 and 80 were still bands
that I could make some antenna improvements. 80 was better this year thanks to
an inverted L. Mother Nature made 40 worse by knocking down two of my wire
antennas. I finally put up a 1/4 wave vertical this past week in order to have
a second antenna for that band. It gave me a ZL double mult on 40, so it was
worth the effort. Missing the two hours before sunset each day on 40 to Europe
meant I didn't make many contacts there.
I tried to CQ a decent amount on 75 meters in hopes of finding more VE's. I
put 87 VE Q's in the log (19 percent of my total) - over half were on 75m, so
that worked.
The kids made sure it was eventful. The 14 month old decided to get up at
4:15am local time on Saturday and not go back to sleep until around 6am. Then
his sister got up for good at 6:30 am. SO much for the opening of 15 and 20 to
Europe on both days.
I didn't sleep the first night, mainly because if I'm sleeping, I'm not on the
air. I made it to 11pm on night #2 and then got up around 4:30am on Sunday.
As usual, if you had a contact with me, it was all on tape. The system keeps
getting better and better refined with each major contest. Writelog makes it
all possible, along with the more than 16,000 wav files now on the shack
computer.
Thanks to all those who had nice words about my contest news web site.
If you want to send along operating photos for possible use, please do so.
