Best result yet in the ARRL EME contest. Still a few changes planned for the station setup to try and catch the ones that got away.
I gained my DXCC in 2017 at the end of solar cycle 24 and had lots contacts on the usual bands of 20, 15 and 10 meters. With the Ultrabeam I was very active on 17m as well.
I think most hams realise that the secret to success in those long nights listening to static is Bunderberg Rum! Anyway if this news is new to you I highly recommend Small Batch - Vintage Reserve!
I was much better prepared for my 2nd ARRL contest having completed the building of my 4 X-pol 15LFA-JT station the month before
