Comments:
Due to pretty poor condx, this was kinda of a rough one with only limited
contacts on 15m which is usually a very important band in the NAQP. 10m opened
a little with a few dx mults and stateside Q's to make it interesting. 20m was
good but tougher since it can get so crowded with both contesters and
non-contesters, causing a few of the latter to lose their cool by tuning up on
you, burping on your run freq (that was a new one!), and making the usual snide
remarks all without signing a callsign. It reminds you of why cw is a lot of
fun.
I had great fun on 40m during the evening when I was able to run for awhile
with 89 Q's the first and 139 Q's the second hour. I spotted the ole rate
meter hit a 10 min. high of 172 Q's at one time and 142 another time. That's
pretty good for me since I consider myself a cw op rather than a ssber. 75m
was pretty noisy and crowded with ragchewers but 160m did better as the night
wore on.
GM Ski Bum team members worked were: N0SXX, K0UK, N0RK, NT4TT, K0FX, W0MU (on
40m for only MT!)and W0EEA. Could have used WY on any band but never heard
Alan KO7X.
It was a frustrating contest at times and good fun at others. All in all, I
thought it was 10 hours well spent.
