Comments:
This was a casual operation to test out things. Murphy finally struck and took
out my main station antenna - the Force 12 C3S beam (20, 15, 10) just the day
before the contest. Used my small Sigma-5 vertical which was slightly better
than a dummy load on 20m when installed on my roof. But must take it to the
beach one day to really check it out :)
Station: Icom-746PRO + SB-200 Amp (200 Watts)
Antenna: 40m Inv-vee @ 55'(nice on 15m), Sigma-5 Vertical (20, 10m)
Interface: MicroHAM MicroKeyer II
Software: N1MM Logger version 9.9.6
Given the makeshift nature of the antennas I used for the high bands, it was
great to see 15m open up and even managed to work 3 US stations, and a few new
RTTY DXCC counters. Thanks to W2FU, W3FV & NR4M for hearing me along with some
of the other nice multipliers like P49X, YW4V, CX5TR, 5C5W - all on 15m which
was my main band. A remarkable signal on 15m was UX0FF - pounding in here at
all times when the band was open.
It was good to hear the VU Digital specialists VU2LBW & VU2NKS rocking :)
Hope to have the antennas fixed before CQWW SSB & CW.
73 de Prasad VU2PTT.
