Comments:
Rig: FTDX-9000D/OM Power 2000A+ (began Fri evening w/K4D, KPA-1500 combo,
abandoned when fluctuating power out on SSB related to amp ATU could not be remedied)
Antennas:
160m Inverted L - 100ft height at both ends
75m - Dipole @90ft
40m - Cushcraft XM-240 @75ft
10m,15m,20m - Force 12 C31XR @ 55ft on HG-52SS crankup tower, AB-577 military
mast has a Force 12 C3SS now used mainly for Caribbean/SA for instant
switching.
Operating time: 38 hours
Amazing conditions on the high bands, dismal 160, and marginal on 80 but OK for
mults.
75% increase in score from last year, and lifetime high for this contest from
home QTH.
A total of 500 band countries were worked, 3BDXCC, and a little more would have
made DXCC for 40m. Almost made the goal of 2000 QSOs, and almost 1000 QSOS on
10m! Over 700 of the 940 QSOs on 10m were made during a 3 hour run Sunday
morning, with the N1MM rate window frequently hitting 325/hr, and best actual
hour was over 250.
The 2 new towers and high performance antennas were game changers for me,
especially for picking up mutlipliers, often working the station on the first
couple of calls.
Thanks for all the QSOs!
CU in CQWW CW from VP9I again,
