Comments:

 

If this contest would have had an RS(T) report to be given, then everyone
worked at this QTH would have been an honest 59.  My dry Santa Ana weather
conditions here gave me a constant line noise from the power lines of S9 all
weekend. 

Everyone worked had to be above that to be heard.  This contributed to the
low interest and poor performance I experienced.  There may have been some
that heard me and wondered why I wasn't coming back but with all of the
button pushing on the Mark V, I could do only so much.  Someday it will rain
and get back to a bit more normal.

 

Missed: NNY, NL, SK, SB, LAX & PR

 

I heard VO1MP with a pileup but he was just readable above the
aforementioned noise.  I heard a W2 in NNY but he was working "Sunday
afternoon Driver style" and that was going nowhere fast. I never heard the
rest at all.

 

I had a phone call from some guy in Florida who was complaining that my
operating 3 khz below his upcoming 'net' was wiping him out.  QSY'd to grab
a drink (this contest can do that to you you know).  I guess 100 watts needs
to provide those 'net folks' 10 khz space.  I wonder how many of the twenty
other calls I heard near the frequency I heard that he had to bother by
telephone calls.
