Comments:
Not great start...5 min. into contest, high SWR on one radio; had to stop and
spend 15 min. debugging it. Solved it by swapping in different coax from switch
to radio.
After that, the only problem were the conditions. 10m was locals only; checked
fairly often. 20m wasn't great either. 15 was terrific until it wasn't. Took a
break at 22z when 20 was really thinning out. When I came back, it seemed like
some solar event had occurred; it was deserted. But maybe it was just dessert
time on the E. Coast. Then did extensive in-band on 20 to good effect, despite
one antenna missing half its director (last year's storm damage). Next break at
00:27 until 01:42 (took last break at end). Didn't have the big 40m yagi
(another storm casualty), but used the Pro67 on 40 and did in-band with the
Inv-V. The Pro67 worked quite well and sometimes better than Vee. 80m was
noizzzzy.
Generally, did much more SO2R than 2BSIQ; there just wasn't two runnable bands,
at least with low power.
Comparing to last year, my score was way down, mainly because of 10m being MIA,
but 15 was also much lower (100 less Qs and 9 less mults). A few less Qs and 2
less mults on 160. Identical (!) Qs on 80 but MUCH less mults. Identical Qs on
40 (!!) and one more mult. 22 less Qs on 20m and 7 less mults.
Still lots of fun!
