Comments:
Using packet this time I more than doubled my score from last year
by a bunch....with 17 more countries and 1 more section.
Using just an inverted vee for both receiving and transmitting makes
it interesting. I have a 50,000 watt AM station (WMAC) two blocks from
my home that switches over at sunset to directional antennas (5 of em)
and 10,000 watts..I'm ok at night but it came on yesterday morning
(Saturday) about 30 minutes before sunrise with the increased power
and wiped me out. I did not work Rich, KL7RA for my 50th state because
of that.
It was nice being called by almost every European that I worked.
Thanks to GI0KOW (really strong), OM3GI, LA6YEA, ES5Q (thought I would
never get his call and I'm sure he was thinking the same), IQ2CJ, OK1CW
with a good signal, YT0A, also strong, UW2M, DJ0MDR, S50U very strong
and ditto on figuring out who he was....thanks to all who held on until
I could get the call...also LY2IJ, RA4LW, SV3RF big signal as always and
OZ7YY....
Another world from my station as compared to last weekend operating from
W8JI but still a lot of fun and with all of the stations in the US and
Canada it didn't leave much free time during the night hours.
N4RJ, the all-time chief smoker of equipment, would have been proud of
me when my Ameritron ATR-30 tuner went up in smoke on Saturday morning.
First equipment failure here in a long time so no complaints.
'Til the next one,
73, Paul, N4PN
