Comments:
This is normally an all-out assault for me, but a month-long battle with a
kidney stone that ended the Tuesday before the contest left me lacking in
energy. Nonetheless, I managed 24 hours in the chair compared to a typical 40
or so. It sure is nice to get sleep and take naps!
The bands were great. 15M was better for me on Day 1 (nice rate to Europe). It
was cool to have real signals to work on 10M. I managed a few Europeans this
time around. I spent very little time on 20M the first day, but day two
produced some really nice rate on 20. I found a sliver of bandwidth around
14006 at 1600 Zulu and was off the races. The low bands were fine, although I
missed everything in the PAC/ASIA areas due to sleeping.
Fun event as always.
73,
