Soapbox Comments
Loads of learning experiences in my first try at the ARRL DX Contest and
first time to use TR. I liked both a lot. Best hourly rates: 90 on 10; 86
on 15; and 88 on 40. On 10, almost twice as many EU as JA. On 15, more
than twice as many JA as EU. Never could get 20 working for me. Lots of
1, 2 and 4 watters from EU on 10. Thanks to all who gave me repeats until
I got it. Twice I hit some unknown key combination and ended up on 3.200 mHz,
and once I gave the knee to the PC power switch (thanks restart.bin!). Most
problems were cockpit trouble. Thanks to N3BB, K5TR, and K5YA for some sage
planning advice. See y'all next year!
I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations established
for amateur radio in my country. My report is correct and true to the best
of my knowledge. I agree to be bound by the decisions of the Awards Committee.
