K3, TL-922A, Inverted L
I hadn't planned on operating much in this contest, but as things worked out I
was able to spend a considerable amount of time in the chair. My 6+ decade old
body is telling that, too.
Friday/Saturday was very busy with lots of activity. Here in the middle
country we don't hear the DX as well as others, but I did manage a couple of DX
contacts across the Atlantic. Running seemed to be productive but S&P
provided some good mults.
Saturday/Sunday seemed slow. Many of the stations I heard were already in the
log. Running still seemed productive but there were many minutes of S&P.
Also, the atmospheric noise went up Saturday night as snow began to fall. The
noise floor went from S7 to S9+10. If it were not for the ability of the K3 to
knock down the noise, my totals would have been much lower.
A big thanks to all who provided a QSO and a special thanks to all those who
had the patience to stay with me as I struggled to copy through the noise.
Let's do this again next year, okay?
73,
Russ - K0VXU
