Comments:
The sporadic Es Sat (and to a much lesser degree Sunday) kept me in the game.
I didn't put in a full time effort. Sometime early Sat afternoon, I ate
something for lunch (the tuna I think ) that gave me a mild case of food
poisoning, so I was in and out of the chair for the next 11-12
hours,(cramps/bloating/gas--use your imagination) then had to finally call it at
2:15am Sunday morning and lay down for 2.75 hrs. Rates were decent when I went
to bed, but non existent when I got up pre dawn. Oh well !
I'd have to check, but this *might* be my best IARU score to date, with some
wicked (albeit short) runs....probably after I was spotted. (Hey, thanks !) :-D
I tried a little 2BSIQ for extended periods and saw the rate meter shoot rate
way up briefly.
When I went to 40m early Sunday and was into EU pretty well, I set the WPM dial
to 42wpm and cranked out 200+ stns which was a lot of fun.
When it stopped being fun, I stopped. I am not a (WRTC) contender with medium
power and wires, but I like to have fun all the same.
Thanks for so many really fine ops. I got a lot of laughs from the stns who
stopped by and sent back to me at 42-44wpm, which is normally a little above my
normal copying speed, but signals were really FB and only 1-3 stns calling at a
time made it a hoot !
