Lot of fun for the first time using BPSK125. Had a couple of BPSK125 QSOs
the evening before the Contest started, but didn't fully comprehend the
speed at which the data flows across the screen. The speed is fascinating
and frustrating. My typing speed is better than 60 wpm allowing me to keep
up with RTTY and get ahead on BPSK31. Not on BPSK125! Kept feeling I
wasn't typing fast enough, and I wasn't, to keep up with the outgoing info.
Also, had to watch were the cursor is as the line feeds come fast as well.
Number of times thought I had clicked on a call and find out all that got in
the "Call" box was gibberish. But, that is just another thing to get use to
contesting with this mode.
Although this was my first time in this Contest/mode, the activity seemed to
be good with plenty of stations to work whenever I was on - 4.5 hours total
op. time. BPSK125 contesting, to me, is more fun than BPSK31 or 63, but not
RTTY:>) Will make a point of being in this Contest next year now that I've
gotten a taste of BPSK125.
