Comments:
we didn't have most of the usual gang for this one, so N6WM and WU6P took on
primary duties N6WM 15/40 WU6P 10m death watch, 20 and 80. N6RO handled 160.
solar badness.. lighning static.. IT issues. that was the challenge this go
round.
From the team....
Chris N6WM 15/40 - 15 was ok and resulted in some decent rate at contest start
for about 2 hours and then a reasonable maintenance rate after that, until a
solar even pretty much squelched the band 40m was noisy due to rain static, but
at least stayed open over most of the US from open to contest end.
Nian WU6P 10/20/80 in his words - 0m, there is a struggle in the beginning.
People cut in and start to run just in your face, QRM (like key down a long long
time) … later seems things get sorted out. I never had a high rate on 20m,
but it opens till 9pm PDT (then people just all moved to low bands). 80m, as
usually, the early opening time, you just watch the east cost have fun work each
other and only till the last hour and half, the west cost can propagate out a
little bit. Things are getting better when the test ends.
Ken N6RO 160 - didn't expect much, and that's what I got. Last year we made it
past the Rockies, had 9 mults. this year couldn't get past Sierras; no CO, UT,
NM, MT WY NV(no one on anyway). and no HI, usually get KH6CJJ, but no. RBNs
confirmed my observations. low bands were a bummer, but good 15, 20, 40
As always we thank you for the qsos and will see you in the ssb event
for team N6RO
73 and seeya next time
