Comments:
Enjoyed operating in this contest. Was great to hear the bands open, and worked
many new countries on 160m and 80m.
Had a hard time finding and keeping running frequencies, so operated S&P for
most of the contest. Tried SO2R several times, but quickly found out that I am
not quite ready for SO2R on CW. Maybe next time.
I have been dealing with intermitent S9 noise on 80m and 160m, caused by the
utility transformer on the power pole in front of my house. I've called the
power company several time to investigate the problem, with no results. This
created quite a bit of interference Friday evening.
Well, at 7:30am Saturday morning the power company showed up at the front door,
informing me they were cutting off the power to install a new larger transformer
on my power pole (a new house is being built across the street). Lost 2 hours
of prime DX time, but so far the new transfomer has been wonderfully quiet.
