Conditions were quite good here in Alabama. Heard and worked KH7X in
Hawaii
and heard but didn't work KL7RA in Alaska on Grayline.

Dan:

I was in he contest. Conditions were good but noisy at my
location. I didn't achieve my planned goals.

The important questions is "Did you work PJ2T?"

73, Jeff K8ND


Sure did.

"Thank you for your support".

Operating a 160 meter contest from 12 degrees North of the equator is a
challenge, and tolerance for noise is a must! There were storms in the area
during the contest weekend, although things were much quieter the week
before.

From Signal Point in Curacao (PJ2T), I worked 1128 QSOs, 59 State+Prov,
and 57 DXCC countries. 1.3 million points claimed. Currently, it's the #2
claimed score (after VY2ZM).

WAS and WAC first night, but the coutnry total was down 23 below my goals.
QSO total was down 300 from my goal.

Well you had to be doing something right down there. I was only running 500
out to a "U" antenna, literally thrown over a Hickory tree beside the out
building I have my shack in. With the AC return ground as a radial, a 8'
copper clad ground rod, and a 200' metal fence. So to hear that, you had
something going right.

Good job.

That's what ham radio is all about......making things work.
