Comments:
We lost 2 ops at the last minute do to medical reasons. The mid-day absorption
killed our rates on 10 and 15 meters both days about mid-day for several hours.
On Saturday about noon all three HF bands went dead for about 15 minutes...not
a signal could be heard. We had some power and generator problems that caused
us to run barefoot for a bit, but otherwise we had a great time.
The low bands from 9G are very difficult. Our apologies for those who we could
not work. We lost our only helium balloon for the 160m vertical just before
the contest. The beverages really helped us on 80/160 but QRN is still a big
problem.
Look for the Voodudes again next year from West Africa.
73,
Mike
