Comments:
What an interesting experience this contest was at my QTH. On Wednesday (prior
to the contest) I detected that I might be coming down with a "bug." On
Thursday (prior to the contest) one of my Alpha 87a amps failed. On Friday
evening during the contest one of my Ten-Tec Orions failed. On Saturday this
area experienced 45+ MPH winds out of a clear blue sky forcing me to park the
tower and wait them out. I secured due to WX around 2000Z on Saturday and took
a nap until 2355Z. I woke up to find at that time, due to the "bug," that my
voice had completely failed, and I couldn't even talk. I decided to pull the
plug and sleep. About 2000Z on Sunday, I felt well enough to get back into the
frey a little bit. I'm glad I did because there was a very good Sunday
afternoon opening to JA on 15M that I enjoyed very much. In fact, two or three
of the JA 15M signals registered S9+30dB here. It has been quite some time
since I have heard signals that loud from that part of the world here in
Alabama.
