Comments:
CW SS is one of my favorite contests but for some reason my heart wasn't into it
this time around. Been a little under the WX since I got my flu shot so I wasn't
in the mood to do a full 24 hours. It was also a letdown operating from my small
station at home after being at WW4LL for CQWW SSB the previous weekend. I quit
after the first 1 1/2 hours. Did some family stuff and got back on after 3 hour
break for a decent run on 40/80 meters until around 4 AM. Slept in late and did
some more family stuff and settled back in the operating chair around noon or
so and went until 7:30 PM.
First time in awhile that I managed to get a sweep on CW. It was a challenge
to finally get thru to VY1EI for my final section. I chased him around 10
meters all afternoon. Every time I found him he had a unruly pileup and would
end up QSYing. I got lucky and found him before he was spotted and was able to
get thru.
73's until next time.
