Comments:
First contest with N1MM; longest contest time ever. Rig was TS-530S; low power
[100 watts] and G5RV at about 15-195 degrees. Should have used 30L-1. FT-840
no better at distinguishing stations, and apparently less readable on far end.
No voice recorder, so must have said "Kilo Four Alpha Lima Echo" a thousand
times. I was pleased with new countries never worked before: Gambia, South
Africa, Chile, Morocco. Nearly clean sweep of Western European countries [no
Greece, Kosovo, Crete]. Worked first Japanese SSB stations. Should have timed
activity to work 10 meters. Beginning to learn about how to leverage
multipliers. Completely unassisted by DX spotters--this was a totally manual
effort, but a great experience at rig control and calling technique.
