Comments:
Wow! The new QTH is working. Doubled last years score. Surprised
(and happy) to find early 15 meter opening to EU on Saturday. A lot of stns
didn't move the S meter, but clear, easy copy and they kept coming @ close
to 100 per for 4 hours. Come on sunspots!
20 was fantastic Sunday morning. Pointed the high antenna on JA,
the bottom 2 on EU, and had a complete blast. Some of the JA's were ten
over + and would just bang in over the EU's clear as a bell.
Re: Cut numbers
Yeah, I was guilty after 1k Q's. After going through sending
999 to 1019 the long way, seeing stns that were in my pileup disappear,
I changed to the cut #'s the next time I took a break. However, after
going through 1919 etc, I've decided to nix it in the future. Shame you
can't set CT up to abbreviate the 0's but leave 9 and 1 alone???
Coulda, shoulda, woulda's:
I did a very poor job utilizing 2 radios and packet. Lesson learned,
if ya wanna play with the big boys, ya can't get lazy.
Another highlight:
Being called by UY0MM, whose fantastic QSL card is currently
sitting on top of my monitor. Too bad he didn't include her phone #.
Search your logs and get those cards out guys :-)
73,
Steve
