Interesting having sunspots. 20 meters was still producing QSOs
until I swtiched the second radio to 80 meters around 0255Z.
Seemed like everyone had a good time on 20. 40 was okay, but 80
was down from the last couple of Septembers. The summer QRN
just hasn't gone away yet.
Missed VO1, RI and VE4 which some people worked. Was able to nab
a TG9 at the start and worked a bunch of VE's in the last hour
(VE5 and VE2 on 40, with VE6 and VE7 on 80). Didn't work Oregon
until the last 30 minutes - almost caused me heart failure. Other
missed mults were Me, Vt, La, Ida, SDak, VE8. Where was WD0T?
Antennas used:
80 - 50 foot loaded tower with 20 radials.
40 - 2 element beam at 60 feet.
20 - 4 element beam at 72 feet / 5 element beam at 85 feet /
2 element wire quad at 35 feet (used for receiving).
Not sure how many two radio QSOs were made - probably about 30.
Radios used = 2 by TS-850S. Amps - PT-2500A (2x 3-500Z) and SB-220.
Software by N6TR. See you in February!
