10 meters was surprising good especially considering the SS numbers. This was
the first time I had 3 band DXCC in a CQWW, all S+P. Was asked to participate
on Carolina DX Association 5-man team so knew I had to get the station back in
order. Used trusty old TS-850 instead of the Flex 1500- my favorite toy. Ran
assisited to maximize score and that presented problems for me. I'm not very
familiar clicking on a band map, and on several occasions I mindlessly was
calling stations below our band limits, so I will have to somehow eliminate
those contacts from my score, but still keep them in the log so others don't
get penalized. How do I do that?
Murphy was present. My mic was occasionally intermittant through Saturday
evening when I finally changed to a different one. I lost my rotator at 2 PM
local on Sunday and had to use my 40M dipole for most 10/15/20 directions after
that. Cost me some mults.
I think this was my first real contest effort since turning 70 two years ago.
Hope I'm good for a few more. Using real old hygain TH3 Jr, 40M dipole,
Hytower on 80M, and 160M inverted L.
Thanks for the Q's and see you in the 160 M tests.
