Gentlemen:
Just got back from M/S at 6D2X - score will probably be posted soon by one of
the ops.
1) Scores & comments: Particpants, bring them on. This is a CONTEST
REFLECTOR and we CONTESTERS want to compare notes. For u subscribers that
don't want to see these, do a SET NOMAIL (look at your FAQ for the exact
command) to cq-contest-request at tgv.com; do a SET MAIL after about a week
following the ARRL 10 Meter test. Most of the comments will be done by then.
2) Two letters: The net commanders should be shot for introducing this
practice. A very contagious disease. Sure glad to see the "EC" (Spanish
novices) giving their full callsigns & being for the most part, some of the
best EU stations to run this weekend.
3) KY1H - needs to learn that if the DX on 40M isn't listening up in the
American phone band, he's not supposed to work them transceive below 7100
(heard doing it twice on Sunday afternoon, even after a royal butt chewing
from us which he ignored!)
Had fun - almost wish I'd stayed home for this one!!! --- not!

Comments:
- The new Cushcraft 4/4/4 stack, finished Friday just before the 'test, was The Killer Antenna. It was worth all of the past month's effort to install.
- I continue to be impressed with the Force 12 6 ele Yagi -
the F/S is completely, unbelievably, OUT THERE! Signals were 6 and 7 S-units down on the sides! Unfortunately, this weekend proved to me that I made a major, major mistake when I put them at the heights I did (1.5 & .9 wavelengths). To think I was n
- Most interesting propagation: working ZM2K on Saturday, and ZL2RR on Sunday, via Long Path (45 deg) on the 4/4/4 in the afternoon!
- What makes it all worthwhile: After requiring the involvement of the FCC to help resolve local power line problems this spring, I was finally able to take advantage of one of the (few) natural advantages of this QTH: Hundreds of acres of swamp, and h
That's my favorite part of a contest: when the band is "closed" to all but a few of the best-equipped stations, and the QRM drops to nothing because everyone else has given up hope of working anything else for the day, and the Q's just keep on coming!
The band popped open to Asia Saturday. It happend again Sunday evening about 22:30Z, and I was able to work a BUNCH more JA's (the Best Ops in the World, IMHO), as well as a few DU's and RA0FU in Zone 19 for an unexpected Double Mult near the end of
Phone gives me a headache.

********************************************************************
Not sure what went wrong but some of you only saw the breakdown sheet.
I do understand why you thought I had lost my mind. There going two
be two different sheets each time. One is a standing sheet, which is
this one and a breakdown sheet which explains itself. Some have said
they would like the breakdown sheet by classes. I am sorry but that is
really to much work, especially when it is reduntant to do it. Look
at this sheet and see the scores you want broke down and look them up
on the breakdown sheet.
I have also added the hours of operation to this sheet. I hope this
helps as some requested.
I have put down every bit of information everyone has gave me. Now I
just hope nobody needs anybodys jock size!!! Got to have some fun with
this.

Antennas:
Two weeks before the contest, I removed all of my existing
antennas (6-el 15m yagi, 4-el 20m yagi, 10-el 10-17m log
periodic, 40m rotatable dipole, 80m loop) and replaced them.
New antenna configuration used for the first time in this
contest:
Force 12 EF-180S 80m rotable dipole at 100 ft
M2 40M3L 3-el 40m yagi at 90 ft
2 Force 12 C3XL 10/15/20m 33ft boom tribanders at 72/105ft
Band Comments:
Conditions on 80m were considerably worse than 1994, even
though I had a more effective antenna. In 1994 worked 12
zones and 18 countries. Never worked anyone in the Caribbean
in 1995. Heard locals running high power having difficulty
working stations usually worked easily.
Wow! What a difference it makes to have some gain on 40m
This resulted in a considerable improvement over 1994. Even
managed to work 4 Europeans.
Conditions on 20m and 15m were much better this year. Good
openings on both bands to Europe.
10m produced openings only to the south, mainly South
America, with some Caribbeans on Sunday afternoon.
Chronology:
Contest was an emotional roller coaster. Spent the two weeks
prior to the contest working 16 hour days on either work
items or getting antennas, switching systems, phase boxes
ready.
Bad sign: started yawning on Friday afternoon. Friday
evening (contest started at 5:00P local) was an emotionally
up time. Pointed lower tribander at Japan and upper tribander
at S.America. Was great being able to simple throw a switch
to switch directions. Slept from 3:00A to 5:00A.
Everything on Saturday seemed like a struggle. Both 20 and 15
were open to Europe but QRM/crowding on 20m was a mess.
Pointed both tribanders at Europe and moved upper one
occasionally toward South America. Just didn't seem to be
able to concentrate on S&Ping through the QRM. Seemed to take
much longer to work through a pileup, with some stations
being unworkable even when no one else was calling them. Was
emotionally down by Saturday afternoon and decided I better
take a nap. After 1.5 hour nap, felt better. Finally called it
quits for the evening at 10:30P.
Got back on the air at 5:30A Sunday morning. 20 and 15 open
again to Europe in the morning and seemed to have much better
luck (read more rested) breaking pileups. Realized about three
hours before the end of the contest that I had a chance to
break the listed W6 low power record of 754K. Found some
African multipliers on 15m and Caribbean multipliers on 10m
and finished the contest running JAs.
General Comments:
Managed to offend a couple of net operators. Unfortunately,
when you try to work Europe from S. California, most of the
U.S. is between you and the DX. I was louder with the nets
than with the DX.
Found it interesting that an EA8 caused a huge pileup, while
other EA8s were easily workable up the band. The loudest
stations cause some of the biggest pileups, even when they're
not rare.
On Sunday afternoon, one African station had a huge pileup,
while others had practically no one calling them a little way
up the band. Contesters need to remember that a multiplier is
a multiplier. There is no difference between working a rare
African multiplier and working a common country if it's a new
multiplier for you.
My limited experience with the tribander stack is that the
upper antenna was always louder than the lower antenna. Main
advantage was the ability to point the antennas in different
directions.
