WOW!!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!
I was hoping to get a couple of new zones on 80, but my 80/160 vertical had
sky-high SWR! Started on 10M and it was SO GREAT I decided to really focus on
10M for the rest of the contest. It was SO GREAT! Europe was open from before 8
am here till after 3 pm. I worked more Japanese stations than Italians, that is
crazy for me. After hearing BY and JA on the first night, and not working them,
I threw up a dedicated dipole for 10M pointing right at JA. Paid off!! JA/BY
must be in a null in my multi-band dipole because at 30 feet this new dipole
worked great. No tower here, but I think I will buy a small 3 el yagi and hang
it from tree branch for next years contests; being able to AIM at the DX was
great.
My HP was 300 watts, that's all I could get out. I don't think it mattered much
on 10, worked lots of QRP and 100 watt European and Japanese stations. There
will be some amazing 10M scores.
