Didn't really have a plan other than I knew I'd put a lot of time in. No so2r
in this one, I only have one beam and I think so2r would be tough trying to
copy
serial #'s on 40 with the inv v and trying to s&p on 20 or 80. I was giving
the
new kpa1500 a workout and I should have put the window a/c in the shack as that
amp throws some heat out when those fans get singing, hi.
Had a bunch of fun as this is my favorite contest. Maybe give it more of a
planned effort next year and try to do better. Both mornings I didn't get on
until 9am so I had 15.5 hours of off time and could have gotten on before
sunrise at least one of the mornings. Don't know what I missed out on.
Disappointing runs on 20 with low EU answers but I guess that's WPX serial #
phobia, I don't know. Held my run freqs pretty good for a small station. Had
HG3R park pretty close and the key clicks were horrendous. Luckily I could
move
down some but was still hearing clicks & pops way down from them. They get
the
weekend click award. That was Sunday afternoon later in the day.
