Comments:
10 Meters was alive. Yea sun spots. Only one of my 10M contacts was east of the
Mississippi, and that was with K1XM who lives a bit west of Boston. Signals
might have bent over the Wapack mountains instead of going to the ionosphere. I
really need to build a 10M antenna instead of relying on the K3's tuner.
The other bands played reasonably nicely. I moved back and forth between running
and S&P, although I get bored easily when no one responds to my CQs. Then I
think like the proverbial vulture, "I'm tired of waiting. I'm going out
hunting."
In the so close department: I was running on 80M at the end of the contest. With
about 7 minutes to go, a got called with another multiplier. That put me two Qs
from a raw score over 50k. I got another call, and my hopes went up. with about
1.5 minutes to go, I got a call. Elation! However it wasn't to be. I sent the
exchange and my RTTY decoder decided to render the response in Figs shift
instead of Ltrs. I sent AGN? and repeated sending my exchange, but the station
had gone. I couldn't log it. If you got a NIL with me at the end of the contest,
that's what happened.
