Comments:
Lost power (high wind gusts) at 11pm local Sat night, so lost second night 160,
80, 40 multipliers. I was too wired to sleep. I sat in the living room in the
pitch dark for 3 hours staring out the window...waiting. I had planned to sleep
from 2am to 6 am. I did that, and power returned while I slept. But too late for
EU on the low bands.
The new IC765PROIII died 30 mins before the test. I was still trying to revive
it at 0000. I had to put it in another room so I wouldn't have to stare at it
all weekend. I hooked up a replacement radio, but did not have time to get it
configured for true SO2R. Used the IC775 99% of the time.
Low band condx were great. Many stations called on 20 under the QRM, they may
still be calling. Kept wishing it was a CW test. Could not run on 15m.
I guess the log checking will be pivotal this year.
