Comments:
In my 56th consecutive CQWW CW Contest, operated at home for the first
time in 34 years. Plans for a quick trip elsewhere did not work out
this year.
Repaired a few broken antennas and things before the contest, but was
unable to get power-line noise source fixed. Noise was between S-7 and
10-over-9 in all directions west through north to east on all bands.
Even an antenna essentially on the ground that usually can hear was
impaired, except on 80-meters. The noise appears to have been coming
from a pole just across the street.
Operation therefore consisted of S&Ping, working reasonably loud
stations. With the noise-blanker and noise-reduction functions going,
and switching between antennas for receive, at least some stations
could be worked.
Had the objective of making 1000 QSOs and 1 Million points, and after
24 hours, with only 559 QSOs, did not think it would happen. However,
on Sunday morning., the noise went away. For the last 8 hours, the
contest was actually enjoyable. I could not only hear again, but could
even CQ successfully occasionally.
Have a poor QTH with respect to Japan, as a hill rises above me in
that direction. Did manage one 160-mater JA contact.
The local weather has been damp the last few days, and the line noise
has been gone. Consequently, when the electric company was scheduled
to come on Wednesday, there was no noise and the trip was cancelled.
The problem will rear its ugly head again in the future.
