Comments:
If this contest would have had an RS(T) report to be given, then everyone worked
at this QTH would have been an honest 59. My dry Santa Ana weather conditions
here gave me a constant line noise from the power lines of S9 all weekend.
Everyone worked had to be above that to be heard. This contributed to the low
interest and poor performance I experienced. There may have been some that
heard me and wondered why I wasn't coming back but with all of the button
pushing on the Mark V, I could do only so much. Someday it will rain and get
back to a bit more normal.
Missed: NNY, NL, SK, SB, LAX & PR
I heard VO1MP with a pileup but he was just readable above the aforementioned
noise. I heard a W2 in NNY but he was working "Sunday afternoon Driver style"
and that was going nowhere fast. I never heard the rest at all.
I had a phone call from some guy in Florida who was complaining that my
operating 3 khz below his upcoming 'net' was wiping him out. QSY'd to grab a
drink (this contest can do that to you you know). I guess 100 watts needs to
provide those 'net folks' 10 khz space. I wonder how many of the twenty other
calls I heard near the frequency I heard that he had to bother by telephone
calls.
