Comments:
I struggled the first few hours until I took a dinner break and then started
CQ'ing on 80 meters. Then I had two nice hours in a row and started smiling a
bit more....My new inverted vee played well on 80 - unfortunately, I didn't do a
very good job hanging one for 40 - but I'm not sure it would have mattered,
since 40 just didn't sound right all night.
Could have always done better with mults - but that's the story of this contest
when you get down to it. I tried to CQ on ten for the first couple of hours -
but never got anything going while S&P'ing with the second radio.
15 & 20 were a struggle for me.
My apologies to K5KG - George asked me to QSY twice, but I never heard him.
The best decision may have been not using my real name for the exchange.
All it did in past years was bring about lots of repeats, etc.
It's really bad in the phone contest as well. Live and learn!
