Comments:
We had a lot of fun and are very pleased to have exceeded our 2005 results by
over a million points, even though we finished the first night behind the 2005
pace.
The original plan had been to bring together our 2005 CQWW CW team again in an
effort to improve on our 2005 efforts. Unfortunately, Rick, N6XI, had to
cancel at the last minute due to the recent death of his dad. We were very
fortunate that Ed, W0YK, was able to jump in on short notice to round out the
team, although Rickâ??s presence was missed.
Conditions on the low bands were good. On Saturday, 10 meters only opened to
the USA. Fortunately for the overall multiplier count, it opened to Europe for
a couple of hours on Sunday. However, itâ??ll take a lot more sunspots before
weâ??ll be able to close the gap with the 10 meter multiplier counts achieved
by the teams operating from Northern Africa and Asia.
We used Win-Test for logging due to a number of compelling features it offers,
such as the partner mode, for multi-op efforts. We all struggled a bit early
in the contest with our relative lack of familiarity with the program, but we
made a lot of progress getting up the learning curve before and during the
contest. We expect to be able to utilize it even more effectively in future
contests.
Outside the contest, we enjoyed dinners and visits with Alex, KU1CW (operating
as P40C) and his wife, Natashi, KU1YL, and John, W2GD (operating with his usual
call, P40W), as well as Jean-Pierre, P43A, and his wife, Christine, P43C.
Congrats to the many fine efforts in this contest, especially the terrific
results by the D4C, P33W and P3F multi-single teams.
As always, thanks for all the contacts!
