South from WA to CA...
...and the score went south too.
What happened to me on 20m? I lost all the
pileups, no answers to CQs, people CQing in
my face! I know QRP is tough - but I usually do
better! Finally, with a miserable 9 QSOs in
15 minutes, I switched to 40m and discovered
the problem - WRONG ANTENNA SELECTED! Arrghh!
The proof was getting twice the rate on 40m
with 14 QSOs in 10 minutes. That's more like it!
Still trying to catch up, I went to 80m for
4 QSOs in 3 minutes.
I saved a minute for 160m, but nothing heard,
and infinite SWR, so I guess no antenna...
Dang! My own operator error ruined the score
tonight. Anyway, AFTER 20m it was fun again,
so thanks, and see you next week.
K6UFO Mork CA!
