Comments:
Setup for this contest took about twice as long as we anticipated, but in the
end we were rewarded by everything prepared and working at the beginning of the
contest. Seems like the more we prepare and practice, the luckier we get!
For the first time ever, we had nearly identical radio/computer setups with a
K3 and K3S. One station had a DB42 w/80m option on top, with a 4 Element
SteppIR 37 feet below it; the other station had a DB32 (2 elements on 40m, 4
elements on the rest). We also had a listening antenna this year for 80m, which
helped for California stations.
Conditions seemed quieter than normal, and better than last year, despite
forcing us from the high bands earlier.
Thanks for getting into our log, see you next year!
