Comments:
For the amount of total time spent, ~4 hours, I managed to do better than last
year and still get many honey-dos finished at home. It was quite fun actually
even though I mostly did S&P. But not entirely. It's rather delightful to
see the Flex display light up with so many QSOs going.
I think ran across nearly everyone in the club and many tossed a FB or GL my
way. That's also appreciated. Thank you.
I didn't sleep well last night so I said what the heck and got up at 2pm for
about an hour. What a joy that was actually hearing Europe stations along with a
number HQs. It didn't take much dialing around to find them. Clearly, for my
little pistol station, night-time is better. No surprise.
I had a little epiphany. I always wondered why there are so power callers
clustered around 7030-7040 and generally the same at 14030-14040. I noticed this
during the CWO weeklies.
Seems the big guns land there and largely stay there. Everyone finds you there
for sure. It's just something I'm remembering for myself when I feel like
stepping up into at part of the band to run a frequency with the big guns -
carefully dodging the larger signals.
Again in summary I just had a blast and didn't feel too stressed. I like working
from home, a lot. I need to figure out how to get more antenna oomph at my QTH.
