Condx have been pretty lousy out here on the left side as well, must be a
huge X class flare from friday or something, never the less, sigs on all
bands were in the dumps all day.
Despite the condx, i did manage to finally work XR0X on 2 bands, both were
new band zones too...i also pulled a CO, a YB2, VP5 and one of those PJ2's
thats been running around...all for new band countries or zones or continents
or something...as long as i can put little x's on my tally sheet, im a happy
ham. :-)
Ive only got one Ducie so far, im having a hell of a time breaking through
the angry mobs, i swear if i meet one of the Ducie ops down the road, im
buying them a beer!! especially the ssb ops, those poor bastards!!
I have just come to the conclusion that one must be crazy to accept the
position of SSB op on a major dxpedition. I dont even think cops in the inner
city get as much abuse as these guys do! my hats off to them...and most of
the guys on this list are qrp ops, my hats off to you too for breaking
through the mess to get a new one with small power levels.
.......i will confess something here...um...how do i put
this...i...uh...this is hard to say, im so ashamed...well, here it goes...i
used...100 watts to get those stations!!! there, i said it!!!! i just hope
you can all forgive me for my grave sin.
Maybe ill start a support group for closet qro ops...."::ahem:: Hi, my name
is Adam and i....i...have used qro to log dx stations" ::hi adam::
naaaaaaahhhh.......
Yeah, well anyway...conditions pretty much sucked today.
