Comments:
Isn't it great to actually have all 6 bands to really do what we do in a
contest? Condx last year were just a preview of what we had available this
weekend. I had a better score with less hours than last year. One 19 minute run
of 28 Q's compared to a 7 minute run of 11 Q's last year so really all s&p.
Operating time was shared with trying to watch both Phillies world series games
plus sorta listen to the Eagles game on Sunday while watching highlights on
RedZone as the game wasn't televised.
But it was pretty enjoyable working dxcc on both 10 & 15. I've never broken
the 100 countries total since I've been keeping track in 2015 and I did it on
two bands while working some juicy stuff. My station has no real tower or
aluminum. Not bad for a hexbeam on a slip up mast at 30ft with a few low inv
vees. Broke some Asian pileups and was able to hear fairly decently on some. A
fun weekend even though it was phone. Please let me have the same condx (or
better?) for the cw weekend. And will spend a lot more time running in that
mode. I can't wait!
Nice to talk with some of the ops I bump into in the cw tests. Very enjoyable
weekend with radio & sports combined. I say it every year but I hope I can
improve my antennas for next year. Btw - I didn't get the first pse copy until
almost the very end of the test and then I got a 2nd not long after. Nice to
not hear that over used radio jargon when operating phone (I had one on cw just
once).
