KC3MSLSO LP ALLRookie Jan 2019
KC4AUFSO LP 20MWith conditions as bad as they were, SFI 74 A-index 8 plus a geomagnetic storm I still wanted to test my Alex Loop with it's power limit of only 10 watts to see if I could make 'ANY' contacts. To make things even worse I used my Alex Loop in the shack. Because of the narrow bandwidth tuning was difficult. Once I got the station tuned in they were gone with the deep QSB. After a LOT of practice and some good operators to work I actually not only made the one contact I wanted to make but I actually made 20 contacts 8 of which were DX countries. This was a most challenging contest but I still had a lot of fun. 73 de KC4AUF Tony Day

KS9RMSHGreat time hope we helped some of you with a multiplier. Nice to see so much activity, the bands were crowded though.
