Comments:
Thanks, as always, to N3HBX for allowing the use of the Poolesville station. We
had a packet communications glitch which required close to 40 minutes to fix.
If you don't have packet in the "Assisted" mode, you're kind of hosed!
I wish I could have done much more time in this, but I got a call right after
0000z Sunday from my wife stating that our younger son was running a 103+
degree fever. So, I had to set my priorities, and had to go home. Otherwise,
this probably would have been a 3.5 million point effort.
Conditions were not so great, with 15 being OK for a period and 10 downright
sucking. I've NEVER heard 10 this bad in a contest, and can only assume that
it will get better from here.
The dive into the assisted category was an experiment to see how a big station
could run in the assisted mode. You certainly could run packet spots all day
long, but you certainly were distracted. Single-op Distracted indeed!
