Comments:
I am officially announcing my retirement as a serious 40+ hour single op (at
least from the USA and until the sunspots return).
Any contest other than CQ WW CW this weekend, and I would have quit. Tough
conditions, although when it gets bad, New England is a great place to be.
Nothing but salt water between here and Europe!
With only one band open at a time (or so it seemed), was mostly in rate mode
while trying to find anything new to work on the second radio. Felt I was
doing well for QSOs, but not mults. Will be interesting to see what others
report.
Halfway score was 3.3Meg (2295 Q, 118z, 383c).
Was never able to run on 15m or 160m. Looking at my log, I was all search and
pounce for the first 2-1/2 hours. Wasn't able to run much the first night at
all. 20 was the exception. Some amazing rate there.
Hard for us non-packet guys to know who some people were. Was frustrating to
hear someone running multiple stations and just send "TU", but never a
callsign. V47NT, 8P5A, and P40W are guys who know how to run AND send their
calls...
Otherwise, I thought the level of operating was great. Very few bad (wide)
signals and I managed to avoid any bad frequency fights. I think this is why
CW is so much more enjoyable than phone!
Audio streaming was running all weekend and did record the whole thing. Will
post up to my web site in January.
