Wanted and planned to enter the M/S category, but after
review of the log and<br>
reading and re-reading the rules, we had apparently 3
violations of the 10<br>
minute rule. Since we had four radios already pre-tuned to
different bands,<br>
switching between run and mult stations and not doing the
proper assignments<br>
caused the problems. More work to do there.. But had we
planned to operate<br>
M/2, I believe our score would have been much, much better.
There was a lot to<br>
work. AND we did only S&P... <br>
<br>
This was our first operation from the new KN5O shack.. Ran
out of space in the<br>
rear master bedroom office. Plus XYL just finished chemo 3
weeks earlier. <br>
(She was feeling good and was really very understanding
about hosting the<br>
operation for our team, so we planned a nice dinner outing
for the XYLs this<br>
week). Anyway, we now have 2x/3x the operating space and
plenty of cables for<br>
more antennas, control lines and operating position
communication upgrades.<br>
<br>
Also, just the day before contest, we had completed
installation of 2 of a<br>
planned 3 phased vertical array for 80m. I used a Comtek
phasing unit, but<br>
will eventually get the Array Solutions triangular phasing
unit installed. So<br>
even though not optimized, our 80m results were nearly 300%
better than last<br>
years' posting.<br>
<br>
15M was our best band for the buck.. We spent the least
percentage of our time<br>
there for the most contacts. 10M showed some life finally -
worked a couple of<br>
EU and AF stations - besides SA and Caribbean.<br>
<br>
20M was tough for us - lots of QRM, but we did about same as
last year.. 40M<br>
seemed tougher this year. Harder to bust pileups... Not
much to say about<br>
160M.. With only a dipole at 70 ft., not much you can do
from here except work<br>
the US and Caribbean fairly regularly, which we did..<br>
<br>
On behalf of our team, thanks to all who gave us Qs and
Mults.. We had a good<br>
time and look forward to SS and CQWW CW.<br>
