Hello lads!
I worked a few hours in the SAC contest even though my major problems with
the station. I connected the 20m antennas to each coax and ran it SB 20M.
Now I wish I had done AB because I heard US on 80M with my TRIBANDER :-)
I also took a new rate record from my station. The first hour I managed to
work 175 qsos, I think the old record was about 165 or something so not that
huge of a difference but I still had a blast.
I spent 9 hours on the air and actually missed a few high rates hours. I
also slept during most of the night which lost me some SA multiplyers but
overall I am quite pleased anyway.
774 qsos - 1689 pts and 65 mults = 109 785 points.
Not that much DX, about 89% Europe. There were conds to JA but not much
stations active. The ones who called were really strong. I was also hoping
for an opening during the morning to west coast but that never happened so
not much US worked either.
Equipment:
4el rotates
3el fixed @JA
6el tribander fixed @EU
TS850SAT + 1kW amp
My stack switch also got a beating by the lightning. It sat against a iron
leg at desk and there were welding marks between the stack switch and table
leg...amazing!
