KR7OSO HP ALLNo Dayton pre-contest, so finally I had no cold this year. But I still got very tired. Couldn't keep my eyes open. Decided to call it a day after the first 24 hours. Must be getting old
KS7TSO HP ALLI could tell quite a difference in the condx over the contest weekend due to the lingering effects of the solar flare from the day before. Although much dx was wotked sigs were down and openings on 20 closed earlier than before the flare here in MT
KT6VMSHThis group of operators were the original Social Distancing operator group. Our totally remote operations started in February of 2015 (ARRL phone at K4VV). Again, no one in the W4RN shack
KT9ACSO LP ALLExcellent contest! Part time effort but well worth the time and helped me learn my station better
KV8QSO LP ALLIt was real thrill to find 10 meters open a bit Saturday morning because I hit the wrong button on the radio!!! I am sure glad that I was able to get the wax on my antennas prior to the contest. I think it really worked, I can't enter the TB-Wires category. My tribander is a Mag Loop for 40/20/15. My 80 meter antenna is aluminum and my 10 meter anenna is a dipole in the shack! With all indoor antennas, I don't have to worry about weatherproofing though and I comply with the HOA rules in the condo. Plus, it gives me lots of fun. Thanks - 73 tom Rig = TenTec Eagle @ 100 Watts Antenna = Mag Loop (40 thru 15) and an Isotron-80 in attic 12' above garage floor and an indoor 10 meter dipole
