Comments:
The contest started out ok, but went downhill rapidly. 15m died
just after noon here and 20m died a lot earlier than I had
expected.
40m went long early, but signals were weak, making my QRP signal
hard copy at the other end. Then the noise level went up--and
up--and up. Sounded like some combinations of local and solar
noise. I could reduce part of it by turning my receiving loop,
but the other part was a very loud static sounding noise that
neither my noise blanker or DSP could reduce. By 7PM local, I
threw in the towel and went in the house to read a book.
I had really enjoyed the contest until the noise became unbearable.
To keep up our tradition, W6OAT and I stepped through all bands
for 6 quick QSOs.
Hope we have better conditions for the CQ 160 this weekend.
Thanks for the Qs.
73, Bob N6WG
