Comments:
Had a ball, a personal best score for this contest. Last year I managed 1155
Q's in 29 hrs 43 mins, and this year I got 1380 Q's in 29 hrs 12 minutes.
Last year I ran in the assisted catagory, but this year as an experiment I left
the packet off to run unassisted. Given my results, I probably will forego
packet usage in future contests. Also, I used Writelog last year and N1MM
Logger this year. Maybe that had something to do with my results too.
I run SO2R but I am not all that comfortable running with one radio while
S&Ping with the other. Invariably, if things are going slow on the run radio
and I call a station on the S&P radio, then I will have at least a couple of
stations call me on the run radio. Plus, I find that if I leave the run radio
off for something longer than about 3.5 seconds someone will invariably steal
my run frequency.
I do find SO2R to be very effective for dual S&Ping, even on the same band. I
spent about 60% of my time S&Ping and 40% running.
73, Sam W4PK
