-4 hours of sleep the second night (over slept).
-10M: High antennas are cool.
-15M: was the strangest I've ever heard it. Had me thinking about how to
improve my antennas. I just think it was one of those weekends. Never felt
loud to Europe. No big runs.
-20M: New 5el was worth all the trouble. Much better ears now. Nice to
have antennas that rotate on this band now. First time I can ever say I
felt like I knew what I was doing on this band. No good runs to Europe.
Just a lot of grunting.
-40M: A lot of "Gee your loud" comments. But when I call CQ... nada.
-80M: 4-square was great. Listened on my beverages though (noisey here).
First pile up I've ever heard when calling CQ from Georgia on SSB. That was
fun.
-160M: Felt loud until I wasted the last 20 mins of the contest trying to
work TM1C.
More comments to follow when I've had some sleep.
