Well the weekend did not turn out as I expected it to. First of all and I don't remember if I've had the problem all along, I have some RFI on 20 meter RTTY when I point the beam in certain directions. It just could be that the leaves have not all come off the trees yet. Or everything was damp from the rain and I was getting "reflection" from the foliage. I have to drop the output power down 20 to 30 watts and I can work.
I actually "played" two contests this weekend. The 10-10 Digital Contest was on and I broke away to make 8 PSK contacts with 10-10 operators. There may have been more because there was a lot of chatter on the 10-10 discussion list. Too bad because 10 was all the way out to HI, I worked two HI stations on 10 and also 15. I don't remember if I got them on 20.
The bands did not seem in as good a shape as they could have been. 10 had a good opening to Europe on Saturday but 15 and 20 were sort of punk. Sunday they all seemed "dull". But there were some huge scores from US stations. I'll bet they worked a lot of 40 and 75 meters.
Well if you worked this one please use Meriden ARC as your club for the log. Here are my results. The QTCs saved my poor QSO score.
