Comments:
I'm in the bidding of repairing the A3S/A743, and it is stuck at the top of the
tower for some adjustments to the Driven Element, so I operated the contest with
the beam pointed South East, which is not an optimal direction.
Did Phone only and ran the amp.
Apparently I missed a big opening Friday night. I switched off around 0115,
which turned out to be a mistake. Apparently there was a widespread E-skip
opening to the northeast and west. Of course, with the beam stuck South East, I
probably would have missed out.
Although I climbed the tower Friday afternoon, I was not up to climbing
Saturday, and my climb on Sunday was brief. I need to be fresh to finish the
work up there. It's too physically demanding and stressful.
It was fun to hand out Qs for this contest. Saturday the band died shortly after
sunset. Sunday the band died about an hour before sunset.
