[TVARC] ARRL November Sweepstakes

[Bob Schwer]

Thanks, Ralph. I noticed that I’d find a station calling CQ and not a lot of attention, then all of the sudden there was a pile up on him. That has to be the effect of the spotting networks.

I keep dreaming of achieving a Clean Sweep one year. I think this year was the closest I’ve ever come. I did sweep the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 9th call areas. State wise I missed SC, LA, AK, WV, ND and NE. The biggest disappointment were all the Canadian Provinces I didn’t hear.

Good morning, Bob.  Nice job.  
I was on for a couple hours Sat. eve on 40 mtrs just goofing off. The only station I could not contact was a guy in Wyoming. He was up around 7050 kHz, and I swear every time he finished a contact, it sounded like he was on Bouvet Isl. !!!  The QRM had  to be killing his run-rate. After about 5-6 tries I gave up. Everyone else I called once and got thru, even KH6TU. 100 watts to the flagpole. Made 15 - 20 Q's and went to bed around midnite.

I did my S&P thing this weekend. My new HWEF did a good job. I used the Flagpole for 80 meters. I could have used some better conditions. I wore my Begali and Vibroplex bugs out calling stations I could hear fine, but, they couldn’t hear me! But, a good time was had no less.
