Comments:
I had planned on spending more time in contest but the ice storm that we had on
Friday night and Saturday ruined that plan. I ended up tuning up my zepp antenna
as a "T" after the ice started melting off on Saturday afternoon and fed it
again the radial systenm I had laid out earlier in the week for the Inverted L I
was planning to put up. See
http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=331&folderid=188823&groupid=73237&folderview=thumbs&ck=
for some pictures of the ice that I shot around the back yard..
Condx seemed very good.. I heard many EU, which of course could not hear me
since I was running low power (plus a crummy ant !) except for ON4WW. Also
managed to get D4B. Many of the West coast stations were very loud - S9 plus 20
DB.
I couldn't believe all the US (and VE - do they count as DX ??) in the DX
window. I told one guy he was CQing in the window and he replyed that "yes he
knew he was" and then just continued the CQ on 1833 right after I told him...
Amazing ???
Until next time....
