| Good to see the SCQP picking up some steam. Think pairing up with NC for the Carolina's weekend was a good thing. Good to hear OM2VL, DL3DXX, LY5W and a couple other DX on. And of course no contest is complete without K4BAI. Thanks John, AD8J, K2SX and the other SECC and SFCG folks. And thank you everyone who called. You gave me some great fun. Been awhile since did some Butt In Chair time and it felt good. If there was a ten opening I missed it. Antenna issues this time. Beam lowered from 50 to 35 ft for maintenance and fixed direction at about 290 degrees. Fortunately, the Bencher Skyhawk is optimized for gain so has a wide front lobe and low F/B ratio. Able to work some northern folk and even a couple EU's on it. My big 520 ft horizontal loop at 25 ft would have helped with the SC mults, but it was down too. Also had strong wind gusts that knocked things all over the yard and dropped a branch taking out the 80/40 vertical three hours before the end. The 102 ft doublet at 65 ft worked well though. Sorry to those who had trouble copying me on voice, but had a wisdom tooth pulled a couple days before the contest. Did mostly okay, but gave me a problem now and then. Did a lot of CW and voice keyer work. More breaks than normal too. First time I can remember quitting a contest early in years. Kevan N4XL |
