Comments:
Weekend started out bad- helped take care of my infant grandkids on Thursday, as
they were both home sick. Darned if I didn't pick up the respiratory sickness
that they had- by the start of the contest the chest was packed, the sinuses
were packed, and the head ached. And this was for a phone contest! I spent
several days before the contest setting up a hard drive DVK, and the time spent
allowed me to complete the contest with a minimum of talking. Good thing- my
voice would not have made the weekend if I had had to voice out each CQ!
10M was really strange. Worked a couple of YOs on Sunday morning about 1300;
other than a few So Americans and Ws, they were the only stations on the band.
Then a little later I heard TC3P and LZ9W; both were S7 but darned if they
couldn't hear me! I was kinda figuring that would be it for 10M, but boy was I
wrong! 10M provided a real lift, i.e. gave me something to do, for 4 hours in
the middle of Sunday! It was amazing for awhile, but at the same time the
spotlight propagation was quite evident.
Thanks to all for the Qs, and to Krassy K1LZ for the use of his KB station!
