Comments:
Quite a month in Western Washington - floods, damaging wind, heavy snow, severe
cold, power outages, and a new all-time precipitation record (15+ inches of
rain). And that was just November! So if WWA was a bit more scarce than
usual, you know why. The latest round of wild weather brought over a foot of
wet snow to Camano Island that downed trees and branches. We lost power for
four days and I wasnâ??t sure it would be on in time for the contest. Lesson
learned: Buy a bigger generator!
Missed NNY, PR, NT, and NL. Funny, I worked all over New York, but somehow
missed NNY. The first night was productive, but conditions seemed better the
second night with louder signals. Was pleasantly surprised to be called by
R1FJT, P40TA, V73RY, and UA0DC, including all of the FB JA ops.
I still find it amazing that a hunk of wire hanging from the trees can produce
912 Qs on 160m. Just need to work on a better receiving antenna now.
Happy Holidays to all and thanks for the Qs!
73 de Mitch, K7RL
