Comments:
This contest was FUN!
I was in a race this year to get several antenna projects completed before
contest season started. Unfortunately I missed CQ WW SSB and the ARRL CW
Sweepstakes. Warm weather over the past few weeks sure helped but there was too
much to do. My Hy-Gain Explorer 14 was broken in half by a tree during Hurricane
Irene. The tower suffered minor damage and was repaired and repainted. The
antenna upgrade took about 2 weeks to complete due to complete
disassembly/reassembly. The work paid off with a noticeable performance
improvement after using Penetrox on the element joints.
New 80/40 dipoles and feedline also worked great.
Beat last years score by 30% and picked up 7 new DXCC countries. Great to hear
10M open to the entire world. This was the first contest in many years where
QRN was not an issue.
Station: Ten Tec Omni VII 100W, Hy-Gain Explorer 14 @ 30 ft (10/15/20),
80/40 dipoles @ 35 ft, HP Pavillion PC running CT
Thanks for all the QSO's.
