Literally every 200Hz were utilized making the band pretty noisy even tho I listened almost only via the Beverages. The DX signals were pretty good but due to the crowd it took effort to get the calls correctly.<\/p>\n<p>With the new vertical, I did not know what to expect beforehand. I was very happy after the first night having ~40 NA stns in the log with almost 16 states\/districts. I did not know that what will happen on Saturday night. Even if the band was full of W\/K and VE calls I _could__not_ even hear a whisper even on the beverage either. I think statistically averaging the condx from both nights it could give an average considering the Sat NA &#8220;black out&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>As I have used more than one Beverage for first time it made couple of struggles to peel the caller when I should just switch to the other direction. On the other hand this actually was really good sign tho that the Bevs are working. I&#8217;ll never ever place the switch on the side of the desk out of prime sight&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The skimmer pile-ups were killer even for a simple station. It could produce a complete wall for long minutes making the called ones &#8220;invisible&#8221;. Actually I gave up quickly jumping on the mults &#8216;coz I&#8217;ve been wasting time only calling in the crowd. Unfortunately, the 400W was not a S-breaker in this sense.<\/p>\n<p>I gave the last 11 minutes to myself using the HG3G call. I could get used to this all the way in every contests&#8230; :-))<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1321"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1328,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1321\/revisions\/1328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ha3ln.hu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
