[CVCC] W4PM - CQWW CW & November DX

[H. M. Motley Jr.]

I was doing the CQWW so I missed sending my DX info to Bob.  

November DX and activity report - W4PM

For November I had 1,771 Q's of which 1,663 were from the SS CW, URDX, OK/OM DX, SS SSB and the CQWW CW contests.  Contest season is here!

16 New Band entities:
160 - a little DX worked but nothing new.  Antenna still in summer mode - rolled up radials.
80 - EL, EY, 8Q
40 - 5N, 9V, YJ, 8Q, C9
30 - 5N
20 - CEOY, YJ, T8
17 - J6, FR/R
15 - 5R, 3X
12 & 10 - zippo, nada, zilch heard on these bands

The CQWW contest  gave me the 8Q, C9 and T8!

New countries overall were the YJ, 5N, 9V and T8

It was a pretty good month in spite of the antenna being down for a week. :-)

RIG: Ten Tec Omni VII, Ameritron ALS-600  500W
Antenna: 176' long center fed wire at 60'

Fairly decent band conditions except I heard nothing on 10 and 160 conditions
seemed weak. My antenna doesn't play well on 160 so I was lucky to get the very
few I got. We had other family events over the weekend so play time was limited.
 

Thanks for the Q's.  CU on the bands.
