Comments:
Seems like the best I have done in this one. Use packet, but had everything
call in except a few of the DX guys. Slept both nights, got up Saturday for a
few QSOs and picked up WY, got up Sunday worked a few spots, went out to take
some sunrise snow photos, came in and while downloading the photos hit the CQ
button a few times and pulled VY1JA out of the noise. I believe that would be
our first 160 QSO. Missed KL7 and VE4. averaged over 100/hour the first 9
hours then took a while to reach 1000 and bedtime. Harder to copy guys the
second night. Used diversity receive with 1 listening wire chosen and the
transmit antenna on the other ear. I even tried running a wire across the
school field next door for Saturday night. It helped a little; however, Europe
did not seem nearly as good here. Next year maybe I can find a 2nd op to fill
in the off times, too much going on to go without sleep 2 weekends in a row.
73, Chas K3WW
