Comments:
SECTIONS MISSED: 2 close-in sections SoDak & WTx.
SCORE: down from last year . . . 611('07) vs. 707 ('06) claimed Q's. This was
in part because my new "run vs. S&P" strategy did not work out the way I had
hoped. And 15 mtrs was not as good as last year.
SLEEP: Never got tired or even yawned. Probably because I took a 1-1/2 hour mt
bike ride and got back 2 hours before contest started.
SO2R: got the gear - now just have to learn to use it effectively. Wouldn't it
be cool if some software guru would come up with an SO2R-capable contest
simulator?
GREAT QRP SIGNALS HEARD: N4OGW, K4RO and KC5R. They were loud, they were
everywhere & it seemed like they were always running stations.
CODE SPEED FOR QRP STATIONS: These top QRP stations seemed to be sending at
about 28 wpm (vs. 32-34 wpm for A and B class stations).
ACCURACY: Once again, I tried hard for 100% log accuracy. The last 2 years I
never even came close. We'll see what the UBN report says for 2007.
73, Alan KÃ?AV
