What a ride! 30 hours just wasn't long enough!
Rate was steady but unspectacular- varied from a 39 to an 87. Overall, made my
goal of 1800 QSOs (60 per hour for 30 hours), and made my goal of 600 mults, but
I had no idea I'd surpass the existing NA record (congrats to both K3MM and
K4GMH, as they surpassed the existing record by a lot more than I did).
I, too, was out of operating time at 2220Z Sunday. I was on the radio 18 hours
the first day, so the second day got shortchanged. A decent 15M opening on Sat,
but poor on Sunday. I did hear 5 or 6 stations on 10M, but only took the time
to work one of them.
SO2R worked for the first 3 hours, then stopped working. My first big off
time- 0200Z Sunday- I got it back to working enough to be usable on the rest of
the time on Sunday. That hurt, particularly on the Sat JA run. I could either
run JAs on 20M or work Europe on 40M- since I wouldn't have an opportunity to
work the JAs again, I chose to work them. I'll have to analyze the log and see
if I made the correct choice.
Thanks for the QSOs, the patience many showed while I played with antennas to
dig out your signal, and to Greg W1KM for the use of his station.
