Comments:
Station: K3 + LNA +BPF
Tx-antenna: inverted L
Rx-antenna: 120m short Beverage to NA.
I enjoyed every minute of the building and fine-tuning of the Tx-antenna in
freezing tempeartures.
It is build up from 5 stacked 3" KLM booms and raised with a fallen
derrick.
The contest was not a joy!
While Saturday morning produced a distinct propagation enhancement before SR,
Sunday was a total disaster with all USA-sigs disappearing 2 hours before local
sunrise.
Low power was not the class to be in.
Plenty of QSB with (too) many repeats and the usual suffix (EH) hassle.
A real challenge for the operator across the ocean.
Special thanks to W4CB and the other QSO's for their perseverance!
Excellent copy but CWNR: K3AJ, N3QE, K2AV, W5TM, W2FU.
ODX sections: OK and ONE.
Non-exploitable DX on Saturday: PJ2, P40 and ZF.
Michel, ON7EH
