Comments:
There are Saturday afternoons in the fall when it's chilly and dreary and
raining outside and I'm all snug and warm in my shack with the rig purring away
and I feel really good. That's how it was this Saturday in the Makrothen.
This was a casual operation as I didn't have the oomph for a full time go.
Mostly I wanted to give Qs to friends and friendly foes. And I wanted to pile
up enough klicks to get to the moon and back safely with some to spare.
Another goal was to work 10m while I still can. The Sunday morning segment was
good with a nice long opening to Europe.
And finally, I like to support this contest as I think all so-called DX
contests should be distance scored. I wish the sponsors would promote it more
aggressively.
It struck me that this a contest where someone in Argentina could really clean
up. All the population centers (JA/BY, NA, EU) are north of the equator and
far away on an equatorial path, we're still near the September equinox and for
someone in BA it should be like shooting fish in a barrel with the score piling
up obscenely.
I didn't hear a single station from LU land. Go figure. Maybe the propagation
wasn't favorable. Too bad.
Thanks for the Qs.
