I did a full, but somewhat relaxed effort. In the better luck next time
department, I heard W0BH in Kansas several times, but I never connected with
him for the multiplier. I also missed Minnesota, which was just plain careless.
I heard several, but was convinced that I had already logged one when in reality
I had not (DOH!). I took advantage of the almost automatic antenna and band
switching capabilities of the Elecraft KPA-500 SSPA and KAT-500 Autotuner and
made more than two band changes (I say "almost automatic" because for
some reason the KAT-500 likes to autoswitch to the wrong antenna when I switch
bands).
Anyway, as usual, I was hoping for better numbers than I was able to achieve,
but it was still fun trying. I even made some progress on my station grounding
project while I was at the remote station site. My ground system is almost to
the point where I wouldn't be embarrassed to admit that I am the one who built
the station
See you all next time.
73, Mike W4EF....................
