Thanks to Dave Novoa, W4DN, for the use of the call sign.
It all started innocently enough to add some points to the club score. Ended
up using 10 hours each day. Very nice and fun pileup on 20m the first night,
and conditions degraded from there. 20 was the only band that I felt
competitive on. The rest of the bands were challenging to run in. I have never
heard the bands as noisy as I heard them today... Lots of hiss and crackle.
75m was quite a challenge!
My shack air conditioner died with a loud scream on Saturday during another 20
minute run, which busted that run. The guy who I was working asked if I had
stepped on my cat while hunting for the footswitch.
Lots of weird conditions, lots of ESP qso's. Great QSO with Tonga on 15 when he
was only signal on the band. Several VK's called in Long Path while running EU
on 20 at my sunset.
At least 40% of the QSO's on 15 and 90% on 10 were in Spanish. I was a
momentary "Big Gun" on 20 while the real big guns were doing
something else holding 14.169 for a while after working out a mutual
understanding with NR3T. I usually cant operate that low due to my station
configuration.
This is one of my highest point totals from my own personal station.
73 and thanks for the points!
