Comments:
The great conditions we had last year had us spoiled, but things turned out
better than I expected. One highlight was finding a JA on 10 for the double
mult just before I ran out of time. 160 was disappointing, but 80 was quite
good. Sadly, 10 meters apparently has gone into hibernation until 2022 or so.
It's great to see lots of activity. Viva CW!
Still working on the 24 hour strategy, but I really like that category.
Excuse department: Just before the contest I discovered my SE tribander had
failed, probably as bugs moved into a trap for the winter. Weather made
climbing the tower unsafe, so I could us it only on 10. Sure is nice to be able
to pick up the Caribbean and SA stations without waiting for the TH-7 to turn
around. There's some mild weather in the forecast, so I should be able to fix
it before the ARRL DX contest.
