Comments:
Everything was "down" this year. My beam was down about 6ft (one
telescopic mast section) due to strong winds, my 40m phased array was down due
to a mystery high SWR condition that I didn't have time to fix before the
contest but every cloud has a silver lining and this allowed me to enter the
Tribander/ Single Element section), my QSO total was down by nearly 1300 QSOs,
my multiplier total by nearly 100 mults, and my claimed score by nearly 6
million points! Last year over 2500 QSOs on 10m alone: this year, only 314. Is
this the beginning of the end of Cycle 24?
Conditions were poor on Day 1, and I was seriously considering calling it a day
before midday on Sunday, but suddenly things improved and Sunday afternoon and
evening were really great.
I'll be back next year.
Rig: Yaesu FT-2000, Acom 1500 amp at 1kW out, to a Spiderbeam for 10-15-20m at
only 30 feet, and single quarter-wave wire verticals on 40m and 80m.
