[CVCC] ARRL 10M - WU4G

[Ronnie Bolton]

Didn't get to play much Saturday; had one thing after another require my
attention.  The impending snowstorm also had me getting some things ready in
preparation as well.  Funny thing is I still made more contacts on Saturday
(16) than Sunday (15) even though the storm kept me at the radio all day
Sunday!  I had the radio in scan mode most of the day, interspersed with
calling CQ.  Had 2 responses to CQs on Saturday, 0 on Sunday.  Worked only
DX Sunday - 2 CX stations.  Heard LX3S make two contacts and then he faded
out before I was able to get through.  So interesting that 10 gave us some
propagation all the way to SA but barely made it west to the Mississippi. KS
was my most western contact. 

 

100W into a Carolina Windom.  Sejo you were correct in saying that the wire
would beat the 5/8 vertical I built.  Never used it for a contact.
