Hello!
I didn't work a serius effort. I was planning on doing it serious but I
didn't have the motivation so I saved myself for next weekend
instead.
I did my first contest using a keyer. I always use the computer
when I send but not this time. I tried to log with the left hand the
same time that I sent with the right one so If you heard some
broken CW that was the reason. It's not hard to either type or send
but doing it at the same time is a bit more difficult. I don't know
why I didn't use the computer but I guess it was because I needed
the practice.
I worked MIX just because I wanted to make some SSB qso's. I
didn't do many but I made a 90 hour in the end of the contest on
20m SSB. I CQ'd most of the contest because of the exercise and
that resulted in very few mults but I didn't care. I was on air about 9
hours or something. Watched a lot of TV, fixed some things in the
shack and so on.
I gotta get some air conditioning in my shack. It gets soooooo hot.
I had like over 35 degrees C in the at times.....that's too hot! I'm
going to put a fan in the shack, maybee two of them...one that
blows air in the shack and another that sucks it out.
Ok, enough bullshit.....here's the score!!
WWYC members worked (that i remember): HA3LN (on three
bands I think), DJ1FYK (on many bands), LZ5QZ (I think), YU7AL
and maybee some more??
