Comments:
You had'da be a contester to enjoy this
one. First - the station worked like a
charm; but, mother nature and
the propagation gods were nasty. Worse score for
NAQP from this
station. Hoped for 15m and 10m, nothing on 10m and kept
checking
15m. Finally heard some noise and thought o'boy! Worked a CA;
then
called and was jumped by about 15 stations, all CA. One said,
the only East
Coast worked was GA and FL. Late on 20m an AK fellow
said nothing ever heard
on 15m. About 7pm a large lightning storm
worked its way through so off went
the rig, unplugged antennas and went for
long dinner break. Started back up on
20m and the rain sounded like a
freight train on the beam and 40m and 80m were
filled with QRN. Was
pointed North late and was called by a HB9 who wanted to
chat (only Europe
that ever called); then was called by a very loud HI3 on the
back of the
beam for my only other NA country. Things quieted down some
late;
but, by then it was too late. I think the weather and noise
kept a lot of the
casual folks off 80m and I didn't even try 160m.
Quit at midnight with 8.5
hours.
Thanks for all the Q's, lots of 2
and 3 band folks.
Best - Jere
