Comments:
I had a great time on the border again. A much simpler setup this year - one
radio and a CrankIR vertical. Poor conditions resulted in only 3 DX
multipliers! Missed only SD for WAS. Had high noise (S7 on 40 meters) due to a
power substation across the street - it was too rainy and muddy to get off-road
to my preferred location. I operated from the passenger seat of my truck.
As usual, the complicated exchange required MANY repeats. I'm surprised how
many people don't use their existing log to get the exchange - many people
asked for repeats on our 2nd and 3rd QSOs when the exchange is right in their
log window. 38 dupes in the log - many from the multi-multi stations
(inadequate log software? unskilled operators?).
I had some good runs, with ten hours over 100/hour and one hour at 234/hour. I
plan to get my CW chops up so I can do more than S&P next year. Thanks for
answering my calls.
