Comments:
Huge thanks to Ray W2RE and RHR for another amazing opportunity to use the
W2/Summit station! If I had not run off to meet my youth friend K4BEN for lunch
and a POTA activation I would have done much better.
The higher bands had some usefulness to them but not enough for me to stick
around too long. Just enough to get some mults I saw then quickly retreat back
to the safety of 20m.
20 was quite nice with the 6/6 as expected, did have some icing issues on 20 and
40 but fixed that with some rotator jiggling and a tuner.
40m was VERY good! I did way better on 40 than I expected, the 3el outperformed
all my expectations!
80 was very lonely, I found I was talking to myself most of the time so again,
worked mults I saw then hightailed it back to 40 for some good EU rates!
All in all I should have operated the whole period but I think RTTY is
incredibly boring so I had to take breaks for sanity.
Looks like I have claimed the record for World SOLP Rookie. I have it by around
100k so hopefully it sticks! Might have even won SOLP NA, Fingers crossed!
Thanks to everyone for the QSO's and to the one guy on 40 that decided to tell
me his name age and QTH instead of a serial number!
See everyone next time... maybe
