100 W, dipoles up 20-30', no digital voice keying.
Name was Dick, in honor of N0IM (SK).
I was a bit late to the contest, but had a nice little run of CA/NV stations on
10 meters when I got on. 15 m was pretty long, as was 20, keeping the mults
down from what I expected. DX seemed way down, with only ZF2DX, WL7F, and a
few PR and VI stations heard. 40 m did fairly well, but the AM broadcast
stations make things difficult. Down on 80 m things were packed.
Unfortunately, the tuned bandwidth of my 80 m antenna is quite small (+/-25
kHz) and I was unable to find a run frequency, so I moved to 160 m pretty
early. Although I could probably have improved my score by moving back up to
80 or 40 to catch a few more mults, I decided to stay running on 160 m to get
practice running and work on my 160 m SSB WAS.
At dinner (7 hours in), I was sitting at 75 QSOs and 33 mults, and figured a
goal of 150 Qs, 67 mults, and a score of 10K was about right. With the success
on 80/160 m, those goals were met.
