Comments:
Rig: 1KW, Spiderbeam at 30 feet, wire antennas.
Fun contest overall, I thought conditions were pretty good except for 80M. I
managed to work all 83 sections because I got the NT station when I was calling
CQ on 20M. I was lucky because I did not see the NT station calling CQ. 845
contacts is a new record for my station, the 70 QSOs on 10M helped a lot. I
enjoy trying to work all of the sections, so taking the time to search for them
lowered my overall score some, I'm sure. Plus, I spent some extra time on 10M
and 15M trying to get some more of the last few states I need for 5BWAS.
I also noticed that there were more newer hams on, with license years in the
00s and 10s, I tried to send a "FB" to them when in QSO. It was nice
to hear them on.
No equipment failures (knock on wood), except for one arc fault I got on my N/S
20M loop when on 15M (and its tuning circuit) at 1KW, but I just used my E/W
facing loop for 15M to finish the contest.
I also used N1MM+ logger, and was ready to revert to the N1MM classic if
needed, but N1MM+ seemed to do just fine so I was able to use it the whole
contest.
