K1SD ARRL 10 meter

This was an utterly pathetic effort on my part. 1 hour and 43 minutes of frustration. Many signals were fairly strong; they CQed in my face. That happened a lot. I could see it if I was running 50 watts; I was at 1+ Kw. And I’ve got 4 full size elements at 70’ and another 4 elements at 42’. Arrrgggg!! I got so frustrated trying to get one Caribbean mult that I cranked the Titan up to 2+ Kw. It took the 2nd or 3rd call to get him! (Does that admission DQ me?) I didn’t even turn the radio on on Sunday; I did some “fun” stuff with the wife instead.
