[SCCC] ARRLDX CW N6WS SO Unlimited HP

[Bill Shell N6WS]

Well guys, here are my results.  I had fun searching and pouncing, but 
in a slow relaxed sorta way.  I did hear Dick (W6TK), Kent (N6WT), and 
Bill (N6RV) on, but not very often.  I kinda miss the old radio.  I 
could always tell which band Dick was operating, and make an effort not 
to interfere with him.  Now I have to tune to his frequency before I 
hear him.

The propagation on 160m was a real disappointment.  The week prior to 
the contest was fantastic with openings to Europe almost every evening, 
but during the contest it was terrible.  It was only good to the 
Caribbean, South America, and Eastern Asia.  I did order my second 
MA160V, and hope to have it up and working soon.

These 40m problems with SteppIR antennas are a real pain.

Soapbox : I was just hunting and pouncing during the contest. It was
not a serious effort, although it did surprise me to see I had operated 20
hours. I did try to run on 10m just to see if anyone was tuning, but 
that was a
bust.  160m was somewhat of a disappointment given the excellent propagation
on 160M the week before the contest.
