Comments: PERSONAL BEST !! This was the smoke test for the new Force12
C4SXL-
it passed with flying colors ! The tri band part
worked better than my old A4
and the 2 ele on 40 is a big improvement over the
old dipole - although it puts
me in a different catagory. I actually got answers to
my CQ's on 40 ! Neat !
Conditions were strange with 20 meters open most of
the night to Europe when
we should have been on 40 and 80. Then in the
mornings when 15 and 20 should
have been open to Europe the JA's were in on 20 and
Europe in on 15 while 10
was dead. Got my best European runs around 10 o'clock
at night and my best
JA runs at 9 in the morning. However strange this was
it was still great to be able
to run stations regardless of the time.
I think the one point for in country contacts rule is
a real shot in the arm for this
contest. Puts us on a more even keel with the rest of
the world, and appeared to
encourage participation. This was by far the best Q
total and mult count I've ever
had even though I gave up my rare prefix callsign
(KM0L). Just a really great
contest! Lets do it again next weekend!
CU all in FD.
I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations for
amateur radio in my country. My report is correct and true to the
best of my knowledge. I agree to be bound by the decisions of the
CQ Awards Committee.
