Comments:
My first try at SO2R LP SSB contesting with wav files. This is certainly more
fun than wearing out my voice over the weekend. Some challenges were presented
because of the local weather. Had to keep the crank-up tower at 55' most of the
weekend due to thunderstorms in the area. The static crashes and precipitation
noise made for difficult reception on Saturday evening local time.
This is only the second time I've managed to break the 1000 QSO barrier in any
contest. The last time was ARRL DX CW in 2002 with QRP. I was hoping to break
the 1 megapoint barrier as well but mother nature had other ideas.
Ran Europe on 10 meters on Saturday morning local but couldn't duplicate that
trick on Sunday. Ran Asia/Oceania both evenings on 10 and 15 and on 40 in the
morning. That was a new experience for me. Propagation was better than
expected, again.
Thanks for the contacts and your patience.
