Short story:......pays to sleep BEFORE the band opens up and not to pass out
just as it gets dark.... Detailed Version: First night was a blast- I worked
TM1C in our daylight...knew that was a good sign- lots of stateside mults and a
few EU's.......good JA opening later on the first morning including a few
surprises, like BV0DX, who called me during my JA run.......thought for sure I
was in the running until the 2nd night, which was awful...I experienced a Homer
Simpson moment when I fell asleeep (must sleep must sleep) just before our
sunset- I thought, "I'll just lay here for a few minutes to get a power nap" 3
hours later, I got on after my XYL dragged me out of bed.....but by then, "the
air was out of the tires"- didn't seem to hear many stateside operators but I
did manage to work a few EU's and a few more stateside mults before going to
bed at 2 a.m.....I got up on the second morning at 4 a.m. to run JA- but the
band condx were not so hot- worked 349 QSO's the first night compared to only
50 or so on the second night- ba hum bug- Here's a list of the DXCC
worked:.......W VE YV HP P4 WP2 OA JD BV F 5B AH6 KL7 TI XE UA0F PY YT HG 8P CO
V3 V7 KH0 LU FM S5 CT3 HK JA HD 9A LZ YB. Rig used was a ICOM 756, 1/4 wave
4-Square antenna and AL-800H amp- I used a beverage system too which payed for
itself many times during QRN- and it was great to have a very directional 1,000
foot long JA bevg that nulled out QRM during JA runs- Congrads to the west
coast guys working SOSB on 80 meters....heard some relly nice numbers- 73 Paul
