This afternoon, after making one CW and one RTTY contact, I downloaded the latest cty.dat file, and configured the logging software (currently using CT-Win). The linear was tuned to 28 Mhz, and the equipment was tested. Many stations could be heard on 10 meters getting ready and staking out their operating frequencies. Conditions seemed very good leading into the CQWW CW contest! As the contest was about to start, the cats decided it was dinner time. Then, with the cats fed and the beam to the north west, a handful of contacts were made.
For me, this weekend will not be a serious contest effort, but I will have fun working a few stations. I am hoping for a good 10 meter opening into Europe in the morning.
73 & good luck in the contest, Rob.
