Operators were N3RD, N3ED, KY2T and N3RS. Conditions were rather good and
we finally got to try some of the new antennas that were put up over the
summer. All of the 80M QSO's except for one were made with the EF-180A at
140 feet. The little thing really does work well! On 160M we still use the
135 ft. high Delta loop. That needs some improvement!! 40M is the HyGain
403B Long John (The big one) at 140 ft. On 20M we now have the top and mid
bays of the 5/5/5 homebrew stack in place. The low bay is still sitting on
the ground waiting to be assembled and installed. The 15M antenna is planned
to be a 4/4/4 stack of 30' boom homebrew yagis, but only two are up so far.
They are at 130 & 87 feet. Ten meters is a single 4 element Cushcraft yagi
at 87 ft. and a 4/4 stack of homebrew yagis on 24 ft. booms. They are at 22
and 50 ft. The antenna farm is rounded out with 3 beverages pointing NE, W,
and S.
We had 3 stations set up, with one dedicated to 20/160M. The xcvr was an
IC-765. The other two stations are twin setups with full access to all the
antennas at any time. Most of the band-switching is done with these fully
automated stations. All three setups used Alpha 76PA amplifiers.
Congrats to K1EA and company AGAIN!! Some day there will be a blackout of
easterm Mass in a contest and we may win one again. Splendid job John, and
Ken. I'm not sure who else was there, but whoever it was always sounded the
way I wish we could sound.
CU all on SSB

TOTAL 1222 3666 267 SCORE: 978,822
Equipment: TS-930, AL-82, SB-220
Antennas: TH-7 at 70 ft, 40 M rotatable dipole at 75 ft, tower shunt fed
on 80 and 160. Phased RX loops for 80 and 160.
Comments:
Fantastic opening to VK on 160 Sat. morning, but no European
opening. Go figure.
Excellent 15 M conditions for this part of the sunspot cycle.
RX loops hear well on 160, but still not on 80. Gotta try some EWE's.
Line noise not bad.
No equipment or antenna failures.
Say what you want about the Sprints, but the practice seemed to help make
my sluggish synapses work a lot better than last November.
Low Points of Contest:
Wasting 5 minutes trying to get the call of a weak QRP station who called me,
only to find he was a dupe!
Deliberate RTTY QRM on 20, some guy following me around. Sorry, I thought
CW was legal above 14.070. This is becoming a serious problem as digital
modes gain popularity. Lack of FCC enforcement means we're sure to see more
of this. What can we do about it? How about decoy stations?
High Points of Contest:
Working VK5GN on the first call on 160.
Snagging GD3SWX on 80 in the final minutes before the mob noticed him.

Bill: I thought Gene made a fair paraphrase of the sentiment you expressed

That should be GD3SXW, of course.

At the risk of inciting the wrath of those who have to pay by the word to
read this, I venture yet another comment on the topic: "To Sprint or not
to Sprint":
"I was walking around the Information Superhighway Hotel looking for
the Contest Suite and thought I had blundered into a meeting of the
Poetry Appreciation Society or perhaps of the Aesop's Fable
Remembrance Society by mistake."
Anyhow, I have not been on Internet for very long, but it seems to me
that if this Contest Reflector is to be a virtual Visalia or virtual
Dayton as advertised, then we cannot ask those who feel passionately
about the subjects discussed here to hide their passions when attempting
to give their raw, unvarnished opinions. Haven't we all seen passionate
gestures and heard raised voices at Visalia and Dayton and assumed that
it was just what one expects when colleagues who live and breathe
contests get together for a confab? Why not the same here...
Or is this yet another part of society that is practicing "PC"?
