Powder Mountain 9000'
Antron 99, Shunt fed 40' tower
Ft-987d (100w)
New DXCC
Mozambique C92ZO
Friday
The contest got off to a good start on 15 with JA's some Hawaii,
China, Guam, Asiatic Russia, Malaysia. The band closed about 0100 UTC.
Then it was off to 40 meters with the coax hooked to one of the legs of the
55g
that is pretty flat swr wise but I have the LDG tuner just in case.
It seems to work well with just a 100 watts I'm able to get as far as the
Azores, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Canary Islands and Hawaii with this
configuration but being at 9000' doesn't hurt either. Hit the sack at 0600.
Saturday
Got to the contest site about 1630 UTC and logged OK2D from the
Czech Republic on 15 with other EU stations working Zone 40 with
TF2CW which is probably the only station I'm going to hear from there.
HB9CA from Switzerland and then 3V8SS from Tunisia.
EU was short lived then it was off to the Carribian then at 1800 UTC
I switched to 10 meters and caught a new DXCC from Mozambique C92ZO.
ZD8W from Acension Isl. had a huge pileup going but I managed to get through
without too much effort. Back and forth from 10 to 15 all day then some weird
propagation around 2130 on 21 mhz getting a gaggle of Finland stations and
SM2M from Sweden then JA's appearing around 2200 closing out the day with
V6A from Micronesia, WL7F from Zone 1 and YE1K over in Indonesia.
Sunday
I wasn't planning on starting until daylight but my anxiety got the best of me
so I went back up to the contest site to try out that 40' tower again on 40
and from 0900 to 1300 I worked some XE, JA, and some Carribian stations
then at first light I was off to 15 meters for the EU pileups until 1800 then
they
fizzled out so over to 10 running up and down trying to find someone I hadn't
worked before. My best score for CW this year was a lot of fun.
