Comments:
Frustrating, but I had fun.
State/Prov count is WAY down. My station is not set up for domestic
contesting, with the LOWEST 10 meter antenna I could point west, being at 120
feet!
I could have hung a inv vee across the dog and it would have been a better
antenna.
Was all pumped before the contest Saturday evening because I was working lots
of JA's. Contest started; band folded. Worked 10 stations the first evening.
Called it quits and got into the 160 CW contest till about mid night local.
Being a 'newbie' to RTTY, I'n not sure what a good 10 meter opening is like. I
found the opening to not be as long as I would have expected or as intense as I
had hoped.
Although at times frustrating, overall, it was enjoyable. I shelled peanuts
and drank beer, all the while pushing keyboard buttons.
Thanks to all for the contacts.
