Many thanks to Don, VE6JY, for hosting me for another CW CQ Worldwide contest
from his megastation in Northern Alberta.
Pretty good conditions, but not excellent - only logged about 350 Europeans,
many of them during the predawn hours on Saturday morning, and about 200 of
them were S&P. Worked about 375 JAs, a big improvement over the 125 I
contacted a month earlier on 20M in WW SSB. There were lots of nice juicy
mults to snag, and it was nice to see the good representation from Z35.
Had a big Murphy moment about 3 hours into the test. The top antenna on the
4-high stack I was using(and the only one of the four antennas that had a
rotator)stopped working while pointed at JA. Very luckily there was ANOTHER
single 15 meter rotating antenna (at 150 feet)on a nearby tower, and I switched
to that one for the rest of the weekend. Station diversity is certainly a
beautiful thing.
Thanks to all for the QSOs. It's been a great month of radio for me, with
participation in both Worldwides and SS Phone - I've not had the opportunity to
be on the air as much as I would like over the past 5 years, I think I picked a
good time to get reaquainted with things.
73,
