Comments:
Most fun I've ever had in four hours of ham radio! I'm writing the Contesting
on a Budget column for NCJ, so for the first couple of hours I used a stock
IC-718 to see how well someone could do with an entry-level radio that had a
minimum number of accessories (NO FILTERS!). I was quite amazed to see rates
well into the 80s and 90s. Once I went back to the Omni VIs, it was fairly
easy to keep the rate above 100. It is possible to do well even with minimal
equipment and no computer control!
I don't ever remember putting more VE5's than VE3's in the log in any previous
domestic contest, what a nice surprise!
Conditions were magnificent on all bands. Wish I could have made this a
full-time effort!
73, Paul
