Final Score = 46480 points.
I haven't thought about the meanings of these numbers yet so as to improve
my station performance, but just as observations:
64% of the Q's were with VE's, 23% were with W/K, and 13% with the Rest of World
Best Band for VE's as % of total Q's was 15, worst was 40.
47.5% of Q's came from CQ'g (surprising for 100 W and dipoles). 11 out of 35
mults came while CQ'g, and only 2 of 7 twenty pointers came while CQ'g
Gotta do something about the 20 Meter antenna for domestic contests, of the
first 12 stations who answered my CQ on 20 CW Sunday morning (around 14Z), 6
were Europeans.
GREAT CONTEST -- MUCH FUN!!
Onward to NAQP -- Bill, W1HIJ
