Comments:
I also made 20 QSOs on 7Mhz, so if you worked me there, it will be in my log.
Rig: IC-756 Pro II, Linear KW.
Antenna: 3 element quad.
Thanks to Keko (TI5KD) for letting me use his marvelous rental station, and to
Costa Rica for being such a wonderful country. I will be back and I will try
harder next time - I do not think I've made maximum use of this amazing
station.
I too noticed lots of dupes on Sunday, and while I have experienced this in
many prior contests, I also wonder if someone was spotting me incorrectly,
either intentionally or otherwise. If people have me in the log with a bad call
they picked up off of a spot, they do not have my sympathies.
My rig control crapped out on my old windows XP computer (also, halfway through
the contest I lost my sound driver too, and I have no idea where it went!).
Eventually got rig control working again. The discussion about requiring
computerized logs that include frequency is an interesting one, but I'm not
sure I would support it, given my problems. (BTW, I worked the entire contest
on essentially 2 frequencies, one below 21025 (lost it) and 21033.)
I also wonder if there is a way for me to log stations in N1MM that are not in
the contest (such as DX) and have them not count; perhaps not even be exported
in cabrillo. Some times I worked DX because they were enough of a pest if I
didn't, and other times just because the rates were slow. Does anyone have a
workaround? Perhaps I should log everyone /W7 in Wyoming and then prune them
out later?
73,
Brooke, N2BA
