Comments:
I love this contest. There seemed to be a lot on non contester participation
and the rates were quite good. I do have some feedline and remote antenna
switching problems that I need to investigate and fix but everything worked
pretty well. Used the SO2R setup a lot during the beginning of the contest when
I was bouncing between 20, 15 and 10, but when I went to the low bands the high
bands started to die and used it a lot less. This was in part to the dirty
antenna relays in the SixPack on the tower causing intermittent high SWR at
times.
The best hour was after I took a break and came back on at 0100. I went to 80
and found a good freq and rattled off 117 Qs and then switched to 160 where I
had another 28 Qs before the end of the hour. Whenever you can have a 145 Q
hour that is just plain fun. The fun continued on 160 with low noise and good
conditions and I had a 90 Q hour on that band.
Now to start getting ready for ARRL DX CW from W4RM. 73 and thanks for the Qs,
Jack W4NF
