Nice to work 160m this time and pleased to give some VT mults here. I only
wish I had a better antenna for it (all in good time). I had to run out back
and switch the 80m dipole to 160m duty when 160m sounded decent. This leaves
me with the vertical for domestic 80m work. Experience tells me that I lose
about 2 S-units within about 1500 miles compared to the dipole turned crappy
160m vertical. More radials and in-shack switching between 80m and 160m modes
are forthcoming this summer.
I enjoyed the 10m opening. I spent a bunch switching between 20, 15, and 10. I
wan't on 20m enough. Was asked a few times to QSY (no surprise). I said no
once and moved the wrong VFO know the other time and lost the original freq (I
was waiting for a fill on the QSY freq at the time...sorry OJ!!). I worked
enough on 4 and 5 bands, but no one on all 6. Thanks to all who put up with my
?'s and AGN's. I HAVE to get more sleep before these contests (even short
ones)...if I am the least bit tired I can't copy sh## (when I am fully awake I
copy at least some sh## anyway). Some YL and harmonic interuptions, but I am
not complaining about it (my family is great!)...ENOUGH EXCUSES!
CU this weekend on six bands again. I busted my vertical on 80m playing with
my newly acquired 30L-1 on Sunday evening (maybe you heard the mildly
identified carrier moving around between 3.730 and 3.840?). No other band
seems to be affected, but it will mean REALLY bad 80m signals when I am
switched to 160m mode on the dipole. I will have to use the 160m vertical
as an 80m vertical too!
