Missed it by βthat muchβ
Due to some family stuff I have to give up on my attempts to reach the Bonus Station GB13COL in the 13 colonies event this year.
I did manage to get all 13 stations in the log along with the PA Bonus station and the French (TM13COL) bonus station. Most were SSB but I did get a few in the log using CW.
I did hear GB13COL on SSB and CW but had no luck breaking the pileups in either mode.
The people who could not understand the concept of βSplitβ added to the problems and the DX Cops trying to get their point across by adding to the QRM with the words βUP UPβ over and over.
That really did not help my popgun station hear what I was trying to listen for.
So with 90 minutes left to goβ¦. Its time to cut my losses and runβ¦.but for the most part if was fun. Thanks for a job well do goes out the the Event Organisers along with the station operators of the stations involved in the event.
Happy 4th and lets try again next yearβ¦.
