Comments:
Well, the contest seemed to start OK. I wasn't hearing on 10 GHz as well as
expected, but I made some QSO's. I started out in EN50rl and made 10 QSO's from
there. Then I moved to EN60af.
The wind had picked up greatly in the time I traveled from one grid to another.
As I was setting up the 1296 antenna in EN60, the wind blew it down before I
could get the guy ropes fastened to it. It bent the boom. I decided to try using
it anyway. I did make one QSO with it in the new grid. Then I made one QSO on 10
GHz; as soon as I finished, the wind blew the tripod over and destroyed my 10
GHz feed. It also bent the dish slightly. I tried to make QSO's with one more
station but we were unsuccessful on any band I had left. I took everything down
and went home.
So my band totals were:
1296 - 4
2304 - 1
3400 - 1
10G - 6
