Comments:
K3 + AL-80B + wires + Win-Test
Heavy QRN most of the time, and QSB at times. RX antennas and K3 receiver made
it possible to copy most stations. Was surprised to have KL7RA call during a
nice CQ run -- thanks Rich. The only other DX station worked was KV4FZ. Sorry
for asking for repeats at times, but the QRN was steady and rather high. Did
not hear any EU stations.
Was surprised to not hear and work T32C during this event. I had worked them
in previous days on 160, and their signals had been easy copy nearly every
night. Encountered antenna / equipment problems after operating about 1.5
hours. QRTd a while to investigate.
Activity took a while to build and then seemed to drop off rather early. Due
to the persistent QRN / static crashes and low activity, decided to not go for
the long haul this time.
73,
Gary
