Used John as tribute to John, N8AA. As Hal mentioned some ops questioned the change but most just ran with it so many busts or they copied well. Condx seemed really good and 10-20 were great with some short skip to the east thrown in. ran out of steam but the 7 hours were fun and I left the bands with plenty still to work.

Comments:

A limited antenna operation from the Florida condo, using an 80M OCF up 45 feet

or so in the trees along the condo property line.

Perhaps more time than I expected to spend, but a crazy good Es opening on

Friday night made things worth persisting. I was doing OK when we got a Facetime

call from our daughter and grandkids around 0030Z. Getting back on I then had a

119 QSO hour, including a 25 minute run at 201/hour, which also filled in most

of the close in states on both modes, though I did end up missing PA, VA, and MO

on SSB. Saturday evening the band was dead at the same time.

Not surprisingly CA was the most worked state (46 QSOs) followed by MN (38) and

MA (34). But from Florida one does not expect to work 17 people in Tennessee.

I also had a gentle 90 minutes at 50/hour run on CW late Sunday, while also

clearing out a thousand or so old junk email while pushing the CQ button and

working the occasional callers.

Definitely one to remember, given the likely downward side of the solar cycle.

Had fun this weekend dabbling in 10 meter test. Fairly good condx and lots to work. Decided to do Assisted and run a bit and hunt mults a bit. One highlight during a run, I looked at the bandmap and saw 4 Ohio stations (one in FL nw) in a row on the band map. K8MFO, K1LT, W8CAR, K8MR. WE owned the band!

Did have a scare when trying to crank up the tower on Friday, the brake pawl was frozen and didn’t latch. Had to gently lower with no brake and apply some heat and good ole PB Blaster to free it up. All seems well.

I thought conditions were pretty good, maybe not the best but still I could work pretty much anywhere.

When the sun went down so did the bands. Last weekend was a night time contest with 160, and this was a daylight contest.

Thanks to all that heard me.

Oh, I did work all 50 states, I can’t recall doing that in the past. OK and AR were the last two. Seems like CA and TX were always there.

Comments: This was the first test of the remote after last year’s failure of my

router and Remote Rig box at the station end, putting me off the air for the

winter. The remote is working fine except that I can’t access my antenna

switch so I only have two antennas to use for now. I have a couple of

ideas to fix this so I might get back access to my other two antennas.

For me, this was a contest to see whether a 40M dipole or a 20M dipole is worst

on 10M. The K3 loads both of them, but neither performs well. I could work most

of the loud stations but not much else. 10M opens to EU around my bedtime here.

I’m just getting over jet-lag so it made sense to sleep rather than

staying up trying to work EU with an antenna designed for another band.

Comments:

First contest from the fully assembled new station. Everything seemed to work.

A great CQ WW SSB contest usually means less activity for SS CW. This year was

no exception. Activity died around 0500z the first night and never returned.

I woke up an hour late due to confusion around the time change. Spent the day

futilely chasing N2NT and AA3B. We all moved through the day with the same

delta between us.

Happy to get the Sweep when I found VO2AC on 15m, dealing with a messy pileup.

I don’t understand why everyone seems to drop all sense of manners and

operating practices when a rare mult shows up in SS…

My 51st consecutive year of entering SS CW. The 1000 QSO streak was broken last

year. Thanks to everyone who was on and helped make the contest fun.

2 x K3, PGXL amp

80m: Inverted vee with top at 78′

Comments:

At 8 AM local time on Sunday, my Internet DIED (including TV service)!!!

That is DISASTER for trying to contest as Unlimited. No stations in the Bandmap

and no spots for catching needed Sections!

Leaving the Family without Internet/TV while I contested was out of the

question, so I had to try to resolve the problem.

Tech Support found that the trouble was external to my QTH and was dispatching

a Repair Tech. They showed up 5 hours later which was impressive for a

weekend.

Meanwhile I operated as Limited even though I had started as Unlimited and had

been giving out Prec U. Couldn’t change once I started! Had to stay a U.

The Repair Tech determined the trouble was in the cable down the street and

a cable crew wouldn’t be out until Monday.

The Family would have to be content with using their phones or watching DVDs.

The crash left me well short of operating 24 hours and a Clean Sweep. But, I

felt I ended up with a decent result in spite of the handicap. Only missed NL.

P.S. I built a Double Bazooka for 10M since my EFLW doesn’t work very well

on that Band and getting rare Mults there can be difficult. Pleased to say it

performed very well and gave me 21 Mults out of 24 Q’s!! Included, were:

KH6, KP4, KP2, KL and VY1, plus most of everything on the West Coast.

14 hours of operations, in my defense I am still recovering form Surgery. I can’t use this excuse much longer though. 🙂

Low power assisted. Wire antennas for 40 and 80. Tri bander at 40 feet for 20-15 and 10. I did finally get VO2AC for the clean sweep. That took over an hour to get him. I will echo what Randy K5DZ said about manners, they were indeed bad. I could hear him very well so I knew it was just a matter of time, but 1+ hours? Oh well I can purchase another coffee cup.

Comments:

In the weeks before the contest, I was able to fix a couple of things

and put up

two temporary antennas. The station was ready to go. About two hours before

the contest, I took a tumble off of my deck and landed hard on my back. It

didn’t seem that anything was broken but I was in considerable pain. I

made it through the first night until the bands died and put in three

hours on

Sunday morning, but I was still in pretty bad pain. With a 14 hour flight

coming up in a few days, I decided that I should go back to bed and take

care of

myself. I pulled the swich.

Rates were very poor while I was on. I had only 5 hours over 50. Sunday

morning was really bad – it seemed that Sunday afternoon had come on Sunday

morning. The three mults I messed were ONN, NL and NB. Quite a few other

mults

were worked only once.

Fellow OH LP ops W8CAR, K8BL and W8WTS sounded good and were everywhere.

Congrats to K5ZD and W8WTS for sticking it out to the bitter end. I’m not

sure if I have it in me any more, even without an aching back.

In Florida for the winter, using the condo superstation antenna of an 80M OCF up

A totally relaxed effort for this one. I didn’t do too much CQing, spent most of the time tuning the bands looking for new mults and making Q’s along the way. Put in about 7 hours on Saturday but was limited on time Sunday, only getting on for a few hours later in the morning and then a few hours in the evening.

I needed NB and NL – like everyone else that missed the sweep by a few mults, and I also missed ONN. I ran across the VE9DX pile up on both 20 and 15 but couldn’t get his attention. Never heard a VO1/2, and I called every VE3 that I heard but wasn’t able to find the ONN station.. and no luck getting one to call in on my CQ’s.

Always lots of fun working a bunch of familiar calls and giving out WPA. I worked a lot of NCCers.

Two hours at the end. I ignored the stupid ARRL rule about one callsign etc. I

hope nobody minded the extra QSO with me using a second call. I estimate 90% of

my QSOs were with people I had worked earlier as K8MR.
