[WWYC] ON5ZO ARRL CW

[Franki at ON5ZO.be]

Hello All WWYC

Here's a copy/paste from the 3830 reflector:

Call: ON5ZO
Operator(s): ON5ZO
Station: ON5ZO

Class: SOSB/40 LP
QTH: Hofstade
Operating Time (hrs): 7.5

Summary:
 Band  QSOs  Mults
-------------------
   40:  206    36
-------------------
Total:  206    36

Total Score = 21,924

Unfortunately, I had only limited time due to job interferrence, so I stuck to
40m only. 100W into a Delta Loop (apex at 11m, base at 2m above ground).
SOSB is only unassisted, so packet was NOT used!

Mostly East Coast, some central USA but nothing heard from W6/7 land, I was not
at home (but at work) at the time the propagation was most likely favourable for that part of the target area.

----------------------------
I called NR3X but it took a while to realize it was Nate. Luckily he reminded me. I was too busy looking at the telescopic mast dancing around; so once again I was bothered by the wind (just like in ARRL 10m test). The wind also made the wire swing and couple with the surrounding metal structures, causing huge SWR bumps. This made the power drop to about 50W so half of my contacts were made with -3dB output. That's what you get with a portable setup in a small garden. Still: good fun and the final score could have been worse.
