Comments:
75 m sounded good especially on sunday morning but participation was low
(IMHO).
Most of the US 10 m run happened on sunday. 20 m was a real mess.
As I've not operated S/All in WPX SSB for many years, I certainly did some of
the usual strategy mistakes with low/high bands ratio and rest periods.
I had a very slow start and some technical problems (mainly RFI and modulation)
and also discovered that the NW beverage installed on friday night didn't work
when I needed it. Small bone glass isolators are fragile .....
No 160m as some water got into a coax joint and fried the SO-238 barrel and
connectors as soon as I tried tuning the amplifier when testing the station
before the contest. Rest periods are great to investigate failures and do
in-contest fixes !
Anyway, I had fun when the station started performing almost normally on sunday.
ZD9IR called me in the last hours.
Funniest event : spotted a needed prefix from Ukraine on 10m, good signal but
with a strange modulation. Called him a couple of times and finally went to his
fundamental frequency on 20 m to work him ! Is this considered Multi Multi
?!!!!
