Comments:
First time I used the Cal-Av 40M 2 el beam at 72' (horizontal phased array
designed by Eric, N7CL) in a contest.
With 100 watts, I worked most of the stations called.
Conditions were not so good. With, my 5-el 20M yagi (M2) at 80' I could work
some of the Europeans heard on 20M but the signals over the north pole were
much weaker than the lineup of stateside contest stations running high power.
DSP filtering on the 1000MP helped but not enough DX could be heard through the
QRM to keep it interesting.
15M signals were good with the Force12 4BA at 90'
This was one of the worst conditioned ARRL DX Phone contests that I have
participated in but the challenge is always worth the effort.
Thanks to the guys and gals who manned the DX stations and made it all happen.
