Comments:
Didn't get much time to operate this weekend. Our 6 year old granddaughter
was the flower girl at a friends wedding, so our Saturday was pretty well
shot.
Sunday it was 80 degrees at the beach, which is highly unusual here on the
Oregon coast, so we took advantage of the fine weather for a barbacue.
Managed to squeeze a few Q's in when I got a chance.
Activity seemed way up this year. Was working stations clear up to 14.125.
Had a good run for about an hour up there. At 00:17 on Saturday evening
during this run with the beam pointed almost due east, YB0, 9M0, JF1, and
RU0 all called in in that order. That was a neat surprise! Then it was
back to working the east coast.
I put up a 20 meter vertical GP up about 10 feet this
year and it worked pretty slick. When I heard a station off the back of the
beam, I just switched to the vertical to work them. Saves time rotating the
beam around.
Radio 1 TS-450SAT + SB-200
Radio 2 FT-840 + zepp antenna
2 el monobander for 20, and verticals for 20, 40 and 80. Zepp antenna for
radio 2.
N1MM Logger 6.9.6 performed perfectly. Sure takes the drudgery out of
contesting.
Thanks for all the Q's and will see you in the next one. 73
