Well, we're at least back on the air here at Bedsprings Brigade Manor. I
expected this to be a part-time effort, but Metro-Atlanta snow kept me at home,
allowing a full-time effort.
My score is a bit less than half my first Jan NAQP Phone back in 2001, but the
big difference seems to be in my scores on the high bands, so I'm going to
blame the sunspots (or lack of them). My combined 40/80 score here beat my
40/80 score from Jan 2001, but on 20/15/10, it went the other way, which made
the difference.
I was glad to find 15 open when I got on at 1851Z, though it didn't seem to
last long.
One nice thing about the wide phone bands on 80/75 is that it's now possible
for even us Bedsprings Brigade stations to find a place to run. I had one run
of over an hour and another of maybe 30 mins, which is a good part of the
reason that 80 ended up being my best band (as opposed to 2001, when 40 was my
best band. The rate meter topped out at about 78.
