Comments:
I thought this run might turn out pretty good, despite having to use a
jury rig TX antenna. My 50 ft vertical came down in a big windstorm here
last week. At least my receiving antennas are still intact. At the end of the
first hour in the morning I had 27 Qs, 4 more than my previous best at this
hour.
Restarted in the evening around 0130Z but could never get good traction.
By 0700Z I was well behind my pace from last year, and had worked every
station I could copy. Took a couple of shots at KP2/WB9Z but he was just
too weak. No other Carib stations heard. No KH6 or KL7 heard, and I always
work at least 1 KH6 in the 160 contests. Conditions just seemed pretty anemic
this year. Bummer. My best DX was W4AN at approximately 3443 km. So, at
0700Z I decided a rate of 2 QSOS/hour just wasn't holding my interest and
pulled the plug.
I hope to do better in the CQ160. Let's hope for big participation and much
better conditions.
Thanks for the Qs and see you all in the contest.
73, Bob N6WG
