This is the first time I've run high power (400 watts) in the CQP, and the
first time with high power phone from home. A few personal records for any
single op contest thanks to the amp, including most contacts, most CW
contacts, and most 20m contacts. More contacts = more fun, they kept me in
the chair for the full 24, and gave me lots of needed practice with small
pileups and tuning the manual amp.
I thought I'd end with 55 mults but stumbled onto NT on 15m phone with less
than 2 hours left, and Idaho answered my 20m CW CQ with less than 2 minutes
to go. The state I missed was Nevada. 44 stations in 14 European countries
answered my CQ. That's way more than I worked in the entire CQ WW RTTY last
weekend.
Nothing heard on 10m except some vague phone murmurs that were probably
drifting up from the south. There was some higher than usual noise on the
band, which is usually extremely low noise here, so I think it might have
been workable at times.
