Sure is different to do dx contests from this part of the country. It
was a struggle to work Europe but easy to work Japan. It was just the
opposite from Raleigh, NC.
Never could get a run going except to Japan in the afternoon/evening.
These runs were not great but it helped the qso total. I worked
everything I heard. The neat part was beating out the east coast on
calls to several european and african multipliers. I guess it was
timing.
I was pleased with the 40 meter results with my 2 element beam. I don't
have too many q's as I shut down early both nights. Friday night
because I was shot, Saturday night do to blizzard like conditions. ( my
station is at my office and thought I was better off home).
Looking forward to the next one.
