Comments:
Our efforts were compromised by S9 line noise on 160 meters to the
north east that started a few days before the contest. This made
it impossible to call CQ on 160 meters toward Europe, resulting in
the loss of more than 100 European QSOs. Our 160 meter team turned
in an amazing performance in the face of extreme difficulty.
After two exasperating nights on 160, I decided to hunt the noise
on Sunday afternoon with a WX3B's portable radio tuned to 1800 kHz
(attempts to locate the RFI with a radio in an automobile were
unsuccessful).
I found nothing after three miles of walking across nearby farmland
and residential areas. I began to walk back to my QTH down a road
with buried power lines, and soon the noise began to get stronger.
The RFI source turned out to be an electrified fence one mile NE
of my QTH. The farmer reluctantly agreed to turn his fence off
for a few hours, but he re-energized his fence 30 minutes before
the end of the contest.
After an expasperating week trying convince the somewhat uncooperative
farmer to fix his fence, the RFI finally disappeared five days after
the contest. Hopefully it will not return, but I'm not yet confident
in that.
Congratulations and thanks to the KC1XX and K3LR teams for making
this such an interesting and challenging competition, and especially
to the K1XM team for finishing very close to third place. Soon
some of 5 million point multi-multi scorers will be biting on our
heels too!
I guess we'll have to wait six months to find how this contest
actually turned out. Yet another photo finish in the hyper
competitive multi-multi category!
