Comments:
I put in 6 hours on Saturday night and one more hour Sunday morning. I don't
operate much phone and I don't have a DVK or any way to call CQ without using
my voice, and by the time I quit on Saturday night, my voice was starting to
hurt. Had I put in a full day on Sunday, I would have been real hoarse by the
end of the day, so I decided to pull the switch.
For the SOAB low power category, you need to spend significant amounts of time
on phone if you want to produce a good score. I thought about the CW only
category, but it lumps together high power, low power and even QRP stations, so
lacking an amp I felt that I would be at a big disadvantage, so that's why I
chose to operate mixed. If there were a CW only LP category, I probably would
have stayed the course.
But I did have a lot of fun Saturday night. 300 contacts in 6 hours is not a
bad rate and it's fun trying to find those mults, especially on 80 and 160.
Thanks to the sponsors and all the participants!
73, Hal W1NN
