Comments:
Hit the ground running (late) as we had company.
I don't think 10m was any better 23 minutes earlier @ the opening gun. What a
difference 20 or 30 sunspots make, eh? 10m was flat...Even N4BP in FLA was
barely 519....a month or two ago he would've been 30/9 in my car.
Gah....sunspots <g>
15m was "OK"-ish...had a number or requests to QSY to 10m and think I may have
worked one of the many that requested. Sorry guys. 10m was flat up here and
closes earlier than out west....after a while I just stopped taking QSY
requests for 10m. Later on, I did accomodate requests for 40-80 & 160m
Rest of the bands so-so....80m kinda came alive at one point, then went all
hollow so I went to 160m where it was better, but fewer stns. (just can't win,
hi)
Quiet in the shack (no amp fans...heck, no amps!)_ Folks were generally well
behaved and hardly heard an amplifier. Did hear one or two amps from stations
running, so can either assume they:
A) didn't read the rules
B) Sending a check log
C) well, you know....leave that one to your imagination.
Participation good. I think this was my best score in this one.
Had a laugh at some of the names being tossed around as it certainly keeps
one on their toes. HI !
Wire Ground-Planes for all bands.
