[TVARC] Contest

[Jim Shaw]

Nice to hear others on phone, Pim.  I think I did OK considering I was using
my KX3 QRP rig into its KPXA 100 watt amp and my portable Trans World
vertical dipole, kind of a field day setting from my lanai and backyard.
Total count was 45 DXCC entities, 46 if you count the US on 10, 15, 20, and
40m SSB.  Those, along with what others are in my log - Norway, Malta, New
Zealand, Baker Is, Czech Rep, and Ducie Is - brings total count to 52 from
The Villages.  Unfortunately, didn't work any new ones to add to my DXCC,
still at 303.

Well, I think I did ok this weekend as a responder in the DX contest. I made
44 contacts spending a couple of hours each, Saturday and today. About half
of those were DX. All were 20M SSB Phone.
As a nice bonus I made 2 first time ever new DX entity contacts. One was
Morocco (CN3A) and the other Bermuda (VP9I).
The band sure was crowded with everyone talking on top of each other. The
hardest part was deciphering the call signs. The Contester should know that
if I cannot copy his call, because he is talking too fast, or he is using
non-standard phonetics, (or his accent is thicker than mine), I will not
respond, and he loses a contact.
So much for my words of wisdom.
