Comments:
I consider this the first contest of the season. So everybody welcome to
contest season! Yea baby, after a long drought DX and contest season has
finally arrived! Oh and the band conditions, well they could be worse… but
not by much, and we have all seen them a heck of a lot better. For those who
know how to wait there were some openings to Europe. Fifteen meters actually
opened up to South America and Asia late in the contest. No equipment failures
here which was nice. Strictly QRO here though. With Fall in the air, no need
for a heater as the Alpha kept the shack nice and cozy. I did end up with
about half the QSO's I was shooting for. And if I hadn't violated the first
rule of contesting (Keep your butt in the chair!!!) I might have done a lot
better. I will attribute that to my advancing age which is a wonderful
universal excuse! Now if I can get the sound of RTTY out of my head, which
will probably take a week, I will feel a lot better and get ready for the next
big one; damn how I hate the thought of a phone contest! For me, a couple
807's and and to bed. Hope you did better than me! 73, C-U-in the next
one:-)
