I came in 65th out of 263 in my class in the Outside Europe category. I like how fast they get the results out. It’s interesting as the other contests take almost a year to get the results out. This contest is the most complicated because you can send the details of your previous 10 contacts and get extra points. The results are out pretty quickly (around 6 weeks) . Here’s the full results: https://www.dxhf.darc.de/~waerttylog/user.cgi?fc=loglist&form=referat&lang=en Here’s the email they sent me with the details of my errors. Today I did the RAC Winter contest for 30 contacts.
POTA K-1880 Honeymoon Island SP
Had a guest from out of town so we took them to Honeymoon Island State Park for a nice day at the beach. Temperature was in the mid-60s and sunny, which made for a perfect day. I started on 20m and immediately got contacts without self spotting or posting to the POTA facebook group, which is a really good sign. I met one of the volunteers at the park who is also a ham. Invited him to the club’s winter field day in a few weeks. I switched to 40m after an hour and got 3 park-to-park contacts but not much else. Overall came out with 77 contacts.
Tampa Bay Ham Fest 2018
Went to the Tampa Bay Ham Fest. Picked up a 24V transformer for a non-ham radio project. The prices weren’t good on cable or connectors, which were the other things I was looking for.
