Comments:
I hadn’t planned on putting much time in this contest. I couldn’t even
remember the last time I was on 160 and there’s probably something in the
Geneva Conventions about how many folks I can subject to my occasionally
mangled Morse. Instead of just a couple of hours or so I’d intended, the BIC
time was almost 12 hours total.
Nonetheless, as the sun was setting Friday night I got some sandpaper and
cleaned some of the corrosion off of the screw lug contacts on the two high
voltage door knob capacitors I use as a limited matching network to shunt feed
my 63 foot tower for 160 (with the big Mosley PRO-67-B) acting as something of a
capacity hat. The rest of the matching takes place inside the shack using an
old Dentron Super Tuner.
I got started over 4 hours late but got hooked nonetheless. Figured I’d try
to help fatten the logs of others and help represent the North Texas Contest
Club.
It was strictly an S&P affair aided by the Cluster, hence the Multi-Op entry.
I was struck by the dearth of District 2 calls, only 7 out 194 QSOs. After
the first night I thought I’d never get any New York or California sections
but a few did dribble in later. On the other hand Minnesota topped the most
frequently worked section. The top 4, MN, TN, IL and CO comprised 24% of the
Q’s in the log.
Was able to work just about everything I could hear, and there in lies the rub.
To really do well on 160 you need a receive antenna with some directivity and
while I had a quasi-Beverage strung out years ago, presently I’m doing both
TX and RX on my shunt-fed tower with all the attendant noise that comes with
it. The 500 or so watts from the old Dentron ML-2500 did the trick on the TX
side though.
Only DX worked was PJ2, XE, VP2M and ZF. I was surprised to work 61 of the 80
ARRL sections missing ND (sorry to hear of AC0W’s woes), NLI, NNY, SNJ (ref.
my earlier complaints about lack of 2’s), WCF, WTX(?!) LAX, SB, SDG (read
that lots of others wondered where SDG was too), OR, WWA, VI and in the
“no-surprise there†department, PR, PAC, AK, MB, NL and NWT.
Bring on the 10m contest! Hope to put WB0TEV in lots of logs next weekend.
