Comments:
Unfortunately, my operating time was limited. Missed the prime time of
10AM to Noon both days.
Even at the bottom of the sunspot cycle, this contest reminded me how much
I like 10 meters! 100W and a Ringo Ranger vertical was all I needed. I like
the concept of "you hear em, you work em" on 10.
Tried a 10 meter dipole up 45 feet in my palm tree horizontally on a 20 ft
pvc pipe and it worked well. On receive it was noisier than my vertical.
I've got some serious interference in my neighborhood, as N6NB can attest.
I thought I was going to hang it up at 2300Z, but the final opening to
AZ, TX, SD and FL kept me interested to the final bell.
Happy Holidays to all. -Tim K6GEP
