Comments:
I had fun, but dang it, sun.
Some tactical errors made regarding time. I had a hunch that there was some sort
of solar event occurring, but my station location is "challenged". I
was thinking "it's not you, it's me." Nah, this time it wasn't me (Oh
the hubris of that last statement.)
I'm sure my breaks were poorly timed, but I had to get some face time with my
wife and doggie, both of whom do not understand why I would spend all day on the
radio instead of with them. I actually wouldn't, but i am addicted to
adrenaline--it's a disease. Minimum domestic harmony achieved, and equipment not
destroyed by lightning.
All the bands were rocking until they were not, except for 160, where I need to
do some work (always), and on 20 where my situation just sucks. Actually 20
wasn't that bad for me this year.
Did I mention the noise? Not the general sucking sound, but the general
atmospheric noise on all bands most of the time. I mean, I blew out my ears from
my early rock-roll days (Seattle 1990s), but the ringing in my ears is bad
today, I'm just saying. Note to self: RX antennas are for the winter AND
summer.
Regardless, it was great to get dit-dits from my radio buddies. Thanks for being
there. Also, thanks to the log-checkers and organizers. Happy 30th anniversary,
Tennessee Contest Group!
