Soapbox Comments
Excuses:
Late start from home to the W5KU antenna farm;
flat tire;
major road repair delay on the way;
wind damage to 10M antenna and 75M dipole requiring
three trips up the tower ate up all my off time
and more before ever starting;
Houston Lighting and Power did NOT find the S-9
noise to the northeast;
The neighbor's elecric fence is getting worse.
Successes:
Learned a lot -- still wondering about off-time strategy
and how aggressive to be about asking people to change
bands.
Never give up on 10M/15M.
Had a great time anyway -- wonderful format
for a contest, and a lot of ladies and gentlemen.
Congrats to N5KO, N5TJ, NM5M, N0NI and all the others -- great scores!
Dave, K5GN
