Comments:
Thanks for the wonderful hospitality (and the big station) of Ken and Kay
Anderson, K6TA and K6KO. They really know how to treat a guest operator right!
I used packet full-time this year (Unlimited category) for the first time and
fell victim to the famous "Single Operator Distracted" syndrome, as K3WW coined
the phrase. I should have ignored packet for the first seven or eight hours and
run rate, rate, rate.
But then again, I was delighted to have a clean sweep only five hours into the
contest. (Of course, I worked numerous duplicate multipliers later in the
contest when they called me.)
I also discovered just how huge some of the "packet pileups" could be in SS
when I was just looking to work a new QSO from the packet list when CQing dried
up.
It was also delightful to hear all the NCCC members on during the contest.
Thanks for all the spots, guys/gals. Now it's on to phone SS in two weeks!
K,D & 73,
Dean, N6BV
