Comments:
In retrospect my strategy was flawed and it cost me dearly with early rate on
20. Started on 15 - nothing Then 10 - nothing, Just a few minutes earlier
there we signals on both bands. Guess I was the only one to try them at the
beginning.
A special thanks to Bob, N6TV, for the SO2R scripts that played flawlessly with
Win-Test and MicroHam MK2R+. Wish I was better at using them. I am unable to
operate SO2R while trying to maintain 120+ rates.
Used ESM (enter sends message) for first half of the contest. Sorry to those
that had to bear the brunt of my learning curve on that technique. For me it
is just plain faster to do it the old fashioned way (which I did for the latter
part of the contest).
I have no idea whether it was just me or was this a tougher contest than other
recent ones?
Still had lots of fun as usual. Thanks to all for the Q's and especially to
Ken, W5AAC, and Bill, K5GA, for their help fixing up the station prior to the
contest.
George, NR5M
