I had some fun this weekend. A good contest, and the sunspots were out in
full. Even 10m was open for a little.
Almost all operating was "S&P", but I did get into a nice "Run" on Saturday
afternoon: this line from N1MM+:
ND4G Runs >10 QSOs: for computer named: RICH-PC2
2021-09-25 2255 - 2323Z, 14090 kHz, 35 Qs, 75.3/hr ND4G
It seems all the other attempts of running were cut short because of QRM;
most likely signals very close to my frequency because they didn't see me
with my puny signal. Ahh, to have a big tower and multi-element beam like
the good old days. Wait, I never had a tower. The closet I ever came was a
TV mast/pole up 30 feet with a (mini) TH3-jr. But, I digress.
At times I couldn't find a place to call my own frequency, as I literally
turned the dial and found the next station to pounce on. A few key
multipliers I came across took as much as 15 minutes to finally land.
Some highlights of the weekend: working Val/NV9L, and after 52 years as a
ham, and 41 years a life member of ARRL, I finally worked W1AW. It took
about 5 minutes for W1AW, but after I logged him, I sat back and I actually
had tears welling up in my eyes, because I felt so good.
I heard Wayne/N4FP a couple of times, and even heard Marty/N4GL one time. I
think Wayne and I were hopping up the band working the same stations at one
point.
