Wow, what a blast! CW is my favorite mode. Incredible condx in general, except
for 160 for my QTH. The new (to me) HiZ4 RX array install was finished on Thu
and tested, it helped some on 160, but really did wonders on 80 and 40.
Incredible f/b and excellent forward gain in the direction pointed, with
excellent nulls.
It's been many years since I had a yagi up, or an RX antenna. Both were
realized this year with the AB-577 military mast and HiZ4. I could easily hold a
frequency on 10,15,and 20 for CQing and had excellent runs on the high bands
both mornings. Runs on 40/80 were equally good for the time I spent there. 160
was very poor Fri night, but improved enough on Sat I was able to work a few EU
double mults.
This is an all-time high score for me from home. Also a new personal multiplier
record, with combined zones/countries finishing at 620 in the log. A few more
mults on 10m and 40m, and I would have made DXCC on 4 bands, and 80m was only 21
mults behind at 79.
Every band was productive, and I'm very pleased with the results of my small
antenna farm.
36 hours was spent in the chair out of 48. Only took a 2hr nap the first night,
but had to sleep more the 2nd night.
Great to see so much activity on CW! Thanks to all for the QSOs, and great to
work so many friends.
CU in ARRL 160m contest next weekend!
