Pre-Halloween contest.
Nothing worked as expected. I had high expectations with actual propagations
conditions but several issues from the very first minute made me start late
and then QRT a few times for a while, after 1h50m from the beginning I lost
radio1 for more than 8h hours. Saturday morning EA8KR came to the station and
repaired the bigger issue (switching) while I connected a 10m antenna
directly to the amp and kept working for 1h in that way till EA8KR made his
magic. At that time I was very disappointed and well below my target, the
competition was over for me.
Great conditions in the bands. Funny runs on 10 and 15m. 40m was a total
nightmare, 9+40 huge splatters in all the band from the very well known
ham-broadcasting stations from EU made it impossible to keep a workable
frequency. Even using BVs to NA, the European splatters were much stronger. On
the first night after 20min calling CQ only 2 stations worked (5x40 to EU +
3x40 to NA) Awesome!!!. A useless band in SSB.
Many thanks to my local friends for the help with antennas, you are fantastic
guys. (EA8AH, EA4BQ, EA8DHC, EA8DP, EA8KR).
Congratulations to Mannu for a great result from 6Y1V.
