[SECC] W4IX ARRL SSB

[John Colyard via SECC]

Nice job having fun Jere!  I first planned on doing a Single Band effort from NQ4I but my work schedule prevented that from happening. Then other personal matters kept me from doing anything serious from home so I just played for 2 1/2 hours on 15 meters low power. Yes, the JA's were loud. More than half my q's were JA's. Best QSO was working VR2XAT even after I heard him asking the JA's to QRX for USA. I thought for sure I would have to wait in line for all the bigger and closer stations to be heard, but he got me on my first attempt!! Amazing....

W4IX. ARRL DX SSB. SOSB15 LP.  2.5 hours

100 Q's. 31 Countries

I am headed to Phoenix at the moment.  Caio!!  W4IX

With the 160m feed point about 5 feet off the ground, nothing available for 80m and the 40m dipole at 30 feet above the ground at best, it was time to just have fun and pass out points. The Friday night JA opening was really good. And, the JA's on 15m were about as loud as I've ever heard here in southeast Georgia. Saturday was completely different; only a handful were heard.  Conditions overall seemed to be good to very good but not as good as last year.  But, I had a great time and spent more time on the air than I anticipated.

Still, managed to work South Cooks, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Reunion (3 bands), Turkey, E Kiribati, Palau, Guam, Qatar, Egypt, Kazakhstan and finding Guernsey on 10m was nice.  Never got Alaska on 10 m so you know the sun was in a foul mood up that way. 40m was a pleasant surprise considering my antenna.
