Comments:
Prior to ARRL DX I arranged with NR4M to use his station for ARRL DX SSB,
Russian DX, and WPX SSB since the station is normally used for multi-op in CW
contests. I figured if I was going to rearrange the station I might as well
operate all 3. The 40 meter beam at my home station is still out of commission
and since Steve has bigger hardware and I spend so much time there helping to
put the place together, it seemed like the way to go.
This weekend was a real roller coaster ride. Friday night was an absolute
disaster. I couldn't get any runs going on any band, not even to the US.
Also, I thought I had an Orion go bad but when I replaced it with another and
the same thing happened, I quickly discovered it was operator error. Going
into Saturday morning, after 6 hours of operating, I had a paltry 300 QSO's and
a major hole to dig out of. Some of the guys stopped out at the farm Saturday
morning and with the poor conditions on 20, I was literally a QSO or two from
walking away from the radio and hanging with them. After grinding through ARRL
SSB and Russian DX, I didn't think I had it in me to do this again. I don't
know why, but I hung with it. The terrific opening on 20 to JA and later some
nice runs to Europe on 40 & 80 got me focused again. By Sunday morning I had
too much time invested so I figured I was in for the haul. So in the end this
turned out much better than I expected. But, I've had my fill of contesting
for a few months.
