Comments:
Worked late. Bed at 4 am. Set alarm for 7:45 am. Didn't manage to wake up
til 9 am and so I got a late start. I'm not used to early AM contesting, and
so I really didn't know where to start. I picked 40m. 80m was not
operational at all this weekend due to me swapping out dipoles and not being
able to tune up on the CW portion of 80m. [low ant, ends within a few feet of
fence rail, parallel and 12' away from the house. I need to get it moved away
from the house and the ends raised some more].
I was trying to participate in at least two CWO sessions as well as work some
of NAQP SSB. So really it's a blur to how it went.
What I can say is that for this being the first year, I thought the turnout was
really good. Recognized a lot of the stations, but I also noticed quite a
number of calls that I do not remember working in any other test. So it looks
like some people really came out of the woodwork for this!
The CWOps events are always a lot of fun. Not as hectic as the sprints, and
overall a more casual feel than most other tests. Just what i like.
I played in slots #1 and #2, but buttoned everything up before slot #3 since
bad weather was forecast.
Thanks to the creators/sponsors of this find test. I'd declare it a success!
It was great to work everyone.
