Comments:
Have a new antenna up this week, it's not all in place yet, but the multi-band
inverted vee seemed to be doing a creditable job on 40 meters. We'll see what
performance is like when the installation is complete.
Conditions were better than I expected, and it was nice to hear a lot of new
calls on the band for this little exercise. Rusty, it was fun to be working you
again, and Bill, K4LTA, I heard you in there but the timeing was never right and
we never got together. Next time I'll do better...:-)
This week I experimented for the first time with really using both receivers in
the 1000MP, I do that in contests occasionally but found it's harder to get
everything coordinated in a Sprint. I'll have to work at getting the ears
balanced and faster transmitter switching. It's good practice.
This time I seemed to have the worst time with pushing the wrong key to start a
QSO. To all those who suffered through my QSO false starts, I apologize, I'll
get it together better next time.
I had the biggest QSO total in this contest so far, thanks to all those who
helped. My multiplier total was down, though, so having 7 more Qs than last week
only netted me 3 more points. I probably spent too much time on 20 (conditions
were so g-o-o-d-d) and missed some of the close-in stuff on 40.
Thanks to all for the contacts. Besides being great practice, this affair is a
lot of fun!
