Comments:
One radio only this time. No SO2R or SO2V.
Activity seemed down substantially from Phone Sweepstakes in past years. Things
really dropped off after 11PM local time (0500Z). Packed it in at 0611Z missing
ONN and TER for the sweep. Got a good night's sleep and leisurely breakfast
before getting back on at 1612Z. Picked up ONN rather quickly on 15M. Fair
rate, and took another break at 1932Z. Showered and went to town for Chinese
and a couple of errands. Back on at 2246Z alternating CQing and tuning the
bands. VY0ERC finally checked in on 20M at 2349Z for the Sweep - Thanks!
Plugged away until 0141Z.
Phone is tough for me these days. Thanks for everyone's patience. The voice
keyer in the K4D made things much more tolerable.
A few station hiccups to fix before CQWW CW.
Elecraft K4D + Alpha 99
80M Inverted Vee @ 70' (hardly used)
40M: 4el JK Grande @ 120' and 4 square - until the combiner crapped out.
Tennedyne T11 Log Periodic @ 50' - left it Northeast
Driven element of TH6DXX fixed E/W @ 50'
4 el 15M yagi fixed at 300 degrees @ 35'
N1MM+ Logging Software
Thanks for the QSOs.
73, Gator
