Comments:
I was really worried, going into this contest, with five days
of zero sunspots leading up to it. Wow, no problemo. I really
enjoyed the time I was able to operate.
I was committed to taking my xyl out of town to a wedding over the
weekend, but I managed to squeeze in 8 hours Friday night, and
two more hours Saturday morning before we left. We got back by
10:30AM Sunday morning, so had the remaining hours to play as
well. I managed to squeeze in 16 hours overall, for an average of
1819 points per hour, just over 9 Qs per hour average.
My most enjoyable bit was drilling down into some pileups and
walking off with a Q from a station I could copy only with the
help of the internal DSP in my K2, plus my external DSP box.
But I did it, several times.
Early Saturday morning I decided to check 80m, just to see if
anyone was still around. There was one lone JA CQing in an
otherwise empty band. So I called him, just to see what would
happen. I worked him, my first JA on 80m, QRP or otherwise. I
guess my 80m top loaded half wave vertical really works.
I picked up one new country on 20m, ZK3. With my reduced
operating time, I only had 147 Qs and 66 mults this time around.
This turned out to be a much better party than I had anticipated.
Thanks to all for the Qs.
73, Bob N6WG
