It was my second attempt after YJ0NX in the late 80â??s to participate in a
contest with a single multiband vertical. It was, however, only with 100W this
time. Largely different from the ones I did in the past, like 3DA0NX and JY9NX,
I found it very difficult with this system to let the callers turn their beam to
South. Many people first heard me as D2DX, N2NX, ND2NX, DJ2NX, etc., and as a
result, S&P was particularly very very tough. I heard so many double mults such
as 6, 7, 22, 24, and 29, but it was in vain. I would have rather call CQ hundred
times to make someone aware and that was indeed much more effective to increase
both QSOs and Mults.
Initially, I set my goal with 2,000 Qâ??s and over 2 million points. But it was
a bit too ambitious. The first day condex on 15 and 20 were plausible and I
thought it would have gone more than 2,500 Qâ??s, if that condex continued.
Well, the second day opening was much shorter and it did not bring me up to the
goal. But I had a lot of fun. Particularly, 10m opening was interesting. I heard
V51AS â??runningâ?? U.S. on the second day while I heard only some. But it was
nice to work them under such a poor condition. Other surprising thing was that
I heard JAâ??s on 40m extremely loud at 8 a.m. their time, which was the time
often considered to be too late. Their signals were much louder than any other
EUs and Ws.
After all, I reaffirmed that contesting is interesting. I hope I was able to
make some of the guys excited a rare Zone 36.
QSL route is JH7FQK.
