[SADXA] Contest

[Douglas Todd]

We did have a good time working from Owen's place with low power and generators last night-- a cross between contesting and field day.  It was great working with Foster Baker and picking up various tips. I worked  20 and 80 meters from about 5:30 - 9:00 Saturday night and  had a great time. We were operating with two stations, the other was parked on 40 meters. Lots of Japan activity. Europe was just starting to open when I had to leave.

Very late last night and early this morning I worked from the house for an hour or so, and managed to get a score of 2100. Other successes were exporting logs and uploading them to Eqsl, LOTW and Ham radio deluxe. Now I am impressed!

If you are interested in working the 160 phone contest next week I believe Owen is the point of contact. You can send him an Email at ak7ar at cox.net

  That's pretty good Jerry, at my current rate it will be about 2029 before I get 43 countries on 160m!

   

  Worked it casually especially late last night and the last couple of hours this afternoon.  40 meters opened up to EU nice around midnight.

  Mine was all search and pounce (sometimes assisted by the cluster), all 6 bands including only 2 contacts on 160m and 6 contacts on 10m.

  Total contacts 142,

  Countries 57,

  Total score 42,600

   

  I had hoped to go help the RST club with their effort but didn't make it, hopefully they had a good time.
