Comments:
I struggled on 20M early in the contest (I could hardly believe how few European
stations I had worked by 3 PM local time), but 15M and 10M definitely exceeded
my expectations. The highlight of the contest for me was 40M at sundown here
in eastern Pennsylvania; Europe was loud, and I was going through on one call
like I was running a KW to a yagi rather than 100W to a vertical. 160M improved
throughout the night, and I ended up with my highest QSO and multiplier totals
on Top Band for me in this contest (not that these are all that much, but with
100W to a 1/4 wave 80M inverted L, I'll take it!).
Equipment:
K3, K3S, microHAM u2R, K9AY loop, an assortment of low dipoles (35 ft. is as
high as they get here), the 80M 1/4 wave inverted L, and a number of antenna
tuners.
In short, it was fun, and I'm looking forward to next year!
73,
Joe
