Comments:
SWEEP! Finished my first sweep ever during the last half-hour of this contest
by working N8NA, who was in Delaware. I had given up hope by that time and was
just S&P as quickly as possible on 40 to get the stations who always show up at
the end to get their adrenaline fix for the weekend. Then I tuned across N8NA
as he sent his exchange and almost leaped out of the chair for joy as he sent
DE! My 2 element Yagi at 84' made short work of the Q and the rest is
history.
This was not a high scoring contest for me since 10 and 15 were pretty flat
from here (didn't hear a signal on 10, ever). 20 and 40 were in really good
shape though and the crowds there proved it. It's hard to find a hole to
squeak out of under these conditions, so running was minimal. Need to work on
my two radio S&P technique to increase the rate near sunspot minima.
