Comments:
I did not go for an all out effort as I knew the weather would get bad and
probably keep me off the air for a good bit. (Little did I know how bad it would
get; major flash flooding in the area leaving one person dead.) I chose to try
analog only because I've worked enough FT8 during the two large tropo openings
to last me for a while. :) And to work many of the same stations yet again in
the contest a two weeks later on FT8 seemed kind of lame to me.
About an hour and a half into the contest I thought it would be fun to meet one
of the Packrat's newest members, Scott, AA2SD, on Camelback Mountain where he
was operating from as a rover. It was really nice to meet Scott and admire his
impressive new rover setup. It gave me some ideas on what I might want to do for
some portable operations.
I also had really nice ragchews with some folks who just got back on the air
after a hiatus of many years, and learned about hamradio activities in my area
that I was not aware of and I'm going to check out.
I actually called very little CQ as that usually doesn't net me very many QSO's,
and just worked whoever I could find while doing other activities. I also did
not use the chat page, Slack, or what have you.
Thanks everyone for the Q's. It was fun! I hope to see you in the next one.
