Put in a soso effort but still managed to do better then last year.
biggest dissapointment was hearing KL7RA come in loud on 40 meters and trying for an hour and 20 minutes to get him while he worked through the pile up. at the end he ran out of people but still couldnt hear me and my 100 watts into an inverted Vee.
Biggest thrill was hearing him even stronger on Sat night and finally working him on 40. That was the last one i needed for my 5BWAS and the contact is already confirmed in LOTW.
5BWAS with 100W and wires/small tribander at 30 ft from NH.
Next stop 5BDXCC and i got a few new ones there as well.
one new country (Tuvalu) and several new band countries.
