Comments:
I wanted to enjoy the station setup but was not motivated enough to do the
entire 36 hours. Instead I decided to get as much sleep as possible and picked
those hours that suited me best for operating. That way I could still share the
meals with the family and play radio. Everybody was happy!
Condx were not great at all. I spent S&P most of the time. To find a good spot
to run was almost impossible. Especially on 20m. On 40m it worked but the
expected US run would just never happen. I think there are not more than six or
seven JA's in the log. I disregarded 80 too much and therefore missed too many
easy mults.
Highlights:
- KH7B and NH6P with decent signals on 20 at 1830z on Sunday.
- F5xxx starting to call CQ on my 40m frequency asking for stations who are not
in the contest. He was gone after five minutes. Goog god...
- G3PYI reminding me on 40 that I am transmitting on USB instead of LSB. I was
thankful for the hint but noticed that the time was ripe for a nap (tnx OM).
- The power supply that is providing most of the station equipment with power
ended in smoke. At least I found a solution to feed the Six Pack and the Stack
match with power and could then finish the last hours of the contest.
See you in WPX CW
