Friday night, off to a slow start with only NQ4I in the log! Not a strong
start!
Saturday went very well with good propagation throughout the day from just
after sunrise to sunset. Good EU run and a an opening to JA and Zone 19. So
far so good. It is fun to watch the panoramic display and seeing how quickly
the band comes to life.
Sunday started off well, but from the onset it appeared that the band was
not going to be quite as stout. Just before 1330z, Murphy showed up bringing
a power failure. It only took a few minutes to fire up the generator, but
the station PC was not happy with the abrupt shutdown and it took almost 30
minutes to get it squared away. I ran barefoot for about 2 hours until the
power was restored.
High points were getting called by FH8PL for my first Zone 39 contact and
working 9M8YY on Sunday at 23:01z just as the band was closing.
Congratulations to the winners! See you next year!
