Comments:
I had no plans to do SS this weekend. Was working on antennas most of
Saturday when I decided I was at a stopping point. Came inside
just as the contest started and jumped in with "nothing better to do". It
became apparent that conditions were good and the contest
bug bit me very hard.
Sunday was a rain-out for antenna work, so what better way to spend a rainy
day than contesting? Soon I was making goals like 500
contacts. When I got to 500, I needed only MB and YT. I ran 15 meters for an
hour and a half hoping one would call in. I figured YT
was out of the question, but I really wanted MB.
Finally I went S&P on 15 meter at 2210Z in hot pursuit of the last two. I
passed up everything that started with A, K, N or W and
focused on hearing only stations starting with a V. Thirteen minutes later I
found VE4GV. Two minutes later I found VY1EI on 21074
kHz with no pileup. S-W-E-E-P !!!
One thing for sure. CW contesting is much more difficult and tiring than
RTTY contesting! But it is great fun nonetheless.
