Comments:
Missed AL and AK for WAS. Alabama was annoying to miss and Alaska has turned
into my WAS nemesis. In the year that I've been active from this QTH, I
haven't even heard an AK much less been able to work one. I figured the SS
would give me a chance but nada. Did hear one station work a KL7 but I could
only hear a few distant dits.
Aside from that, I really enjoyed the SS. Last year's SS was my first CW
contest and I really struggled (used a straight key!). I was in much better
shape for this year.
I was almost skunked by VEs. Didn't pick up ON, QC and MAR until late Sunday.
That was it aside from a few SKs. Didn't hear BC or MB. Still I was quite
satisfied with 72 sections. All S&P, but I rarely had to hunt for a new
station to work. Also, this was the first contest for my new 600ft. loop and
it seems to be performing nicely. I was shooting for 300 Qs but a budding
sinus infection forced me to QRT a bit early.
Had nice openings on 15M both days with a pipeline into CA. Nothing heard on
10M though.
73 and thanks to all for the QRP Qs.
