Soapbox :
A fairly competitive effort screwed up a bit by an afternoon Doc appointment
that took way longer than it should have. This caused a serious impact to the
pre-contest prep. I didn't get to take a nap ;-)
I did manange to lay out four 20' radials under the K9AY loop with 15 minutes
to spare. It rocked. So much so the shielded loop may be relegated to the
scrap heap next season.
Fired up a pot of coffee and off to the races at the start. Really terrific
conditions the first night. 152Q in the first 2 hours. These conditions
lasted until about 0545Z and by 0630Z Eu was very difficult to hear and to
work.
Those poorer conditions persisted through the contest end for me.
450Qs the first day, 190 the 2nd. Roughly 56/10pt, 45/5pt. All but 9 DX were
worked in the first day. N1MM+ says 20 hours even.
73,
Ken - WO1N
