Comments:
SCC sent me a nice certificate from last year's event a few weeks back for 1st
place N. America - Low Power so I wanted to make another effort this year. With
conditions seemingly a bit better, I was hoping to maintain enough for a
repeat.
This is not a 'biggie' but it was a fun event with the mults being our license
year, it is interesting to see how the years are represented. From 1950 -
2011, I only missed getting 51,91,97,98,2000 and 08 which says hams young and
old are doing the RTTY thing.
Beat last year's score by 30% and was really focused on keeping the error rate
down - last year was a 1.4% and I do feel I did better this year.
Heard a VU on 15m Saturday morning but was never able to get in but was a nice
find all the same. Moderate openings to EU from here - not spectacular. All
bands seemed pretty noisey.
Contacts on Ten - one local, one PY and one W2 - it just would not open. Could
not get the ball ever rolling on 40m - just too much atmospheric noise until the
wee hours of the morning.
Writelog/microHam crapped out 3 times in 24 hours - one time with a Blue Screen
of Death but recovered everything and got back into the fight.
Barely keeping awake wrapping this stuff up so off to dream about the ones that
got away.....
73 and thanks everyone who donated to the cause,
WN6K - Paul
