Comments:
Not my best performance this year, but still enjoyed Sweepstakes, as always. I
knew I would have to quit early. I was deciding between "A" or
"U" class, and decided to go with "A". Lucky that was my
call, as when I arrived at the operating QTH, the Internet was down - all
weekend.
I did have a new 80m dipole that I was able to use and it worked about as
expected. This is a broadband design (ala AI1H), so I can also use it in CW and
Phone, without an external tuner.
The mults came quickly, maybe because I was RUNNING most of the time. But at the
end, I had 81 mults and did decide to waste some time mult-hunting. No avail, I
missed WY adn WV - all the traditional "hard ones" came easily, with
many of them calling me and saving me the headache of pileups. I heard WV but
never heard WY. So I kept the tradition alive of getting over 80 BUT less that
83 mults.
Had great fun and enjoyed working many familiar Contesting friends. Thanks for
all the contacts.
