Final Score = 1039164 points.
The above effort was at the station of VE6SV, which had a number
of firsts for the station in this contest.
* First time use of TRLog contest software in a live event.
It performed very well. As a longtime user of CT (since '86)
this old timer to do some steep learning in getting the
program up and running, ie: networking, packet, cw software
controls and working with the info on the screen.
But, that was half the fun for this contest.
* Couple of new ops were part of the team for this contest, again
another learning curve for them to get to know the station.
Getting the antenna switching routine was interesting, I guess
I need to do some more "human engineering" on this, like label
all cables and switches !
* Four complete stations up and running, another first. Two HF
positions, 2M position and a 6M position. This also requires
some major technical improvements to increase performance.
Local thunderstorm activity made us go QRT for a couple hours in the
late afternoon, so we drank beer ! and listened to the VE6JY gang
on 10M.
I guess at the "end of the day" we all had a great time. The operators
of VE6RAC would like to thank all stations for giving us contest
points, with out you it would not be as fun. We also would like
to see a change to the Multi-Op class, to align itself to the other
contest class definitions. Currently, RAC Contest Multi-Op class really is
a multi-multi effort, including as many transmitters you can muster
on the same band ! We really need to "level the playing field" and have
a class alignment. It would promote participate grow and a level of
competition more achievable to more participates.
