Comments:
Contesting from Savannah in August is always a challenge, and this year
was no
exception. Shut down for lighting and storms 4 times on Saturday. So even
though the clock shows 10 hours on, there were storm breaks tucked in
there
too.
However, I actually did better than I thought I would considering the A/K
index and conditions earlier in the day. I estimated 500 contacts and 100
mults would be about right for me. As expected there was nothing on 10m and
only West coast and VI on 15m. Actually, worked VI on all 4 bands. I had
a
nice balance of QSOs on 15-20 and 40m; but, the mults were hard to come
by.
Missed RI, DE & AK for WAS and never heard any of them even when S&P.
NT, BC, SK & MB all called me when I was on 20m but no AK. The storms
really hurt conditions for me on 40 and 80m. Couldn't work out west on 80m
except for one lone CA who moved me to 80m...lots of repeats needed on
both 40
and 80m as the static crashes just covered up the QSO. I had no antenna
for
160m available, so lost a few there. There were some nice runs on 15, 20
and
40m with best hour at 101. Worked 80m mostly for mults. Congrats to my
bud,
N4XL, for kicking my butt in this one and always nice to catch up with
other
SECC members.
As always a fun contest except for the weather. Thanks to NCJ for
sponsoring.
