Comments:
Had a sort of disjointed weekend that ended up affording me more operating time
than I expected. I got on at the start on Friday and played for an hour or so
and then was away for about 3 hours during prime time, at my daughter's
basketball scrimmage. I came home and was on for all but an hour or two up
until 1000z. I took some breaks to be a nurse and check on my wife who
(Saturday was her birthday) had come down with some sort of stomach ailment or
flu that has been going around up here.
I went to bed at 1000z Saturday and slept through til 1400z, so I guess I
missed the JA opening. Since my wife was still feeling a bit less than optimum
we watched Poseiden Adventure last night instead of our original plans to be
out for her b-day celebration Saturday night. Before and after the movie I was
on most of the time till about 0800z. I went to bed at 0800 and set the alarm
for 1200z so I wouldn't sleep through the JA opening. It paid off with a couple
dozen JAs this morning including a UA0 thrown in.
I ended with 890 Qs and 84 mults. Missed NT, NNY, NL, VE4, PR. Worked HI3, P4,
ZF, JA, UA0, PJ2, XE and was happy to be called by JW5NM and I think that's
it.
No receive antennas here. I just tweek the old 765 until it thinks it has DSP.
IC-765 driving Drake L-7 with old 3-500s to a quarter wave sloper coming off
the heavily loaded tower (6 yagis) at 80 feet.
