Comments:
Had a fun contest and nice to work the usual suspects. Even had VK5GR stop by
for a long path 40M contact on Saturday afternoon. Guess he's not affected by
the Australian wildfires. Worked 9G2HO 4 minutes before the start of the
contest, never to hear him again for a nice mult.
While it was fun to watch the online scoreboard to check scores during the
contest, at no time was I able to approach the scores of the top dogs... kudos
to them and their fine results. There were obviously lots of available Q's that
I just couldn't obtain without an SO2R set up. I really need to set up for SO2R
but the thought of breaking down my station and rebuilding is daunting and I
keep putting it off. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Station performed fine with the only issue that the call stacking in N1MM+
stopped populating the call entry window. I could place calls in the stack but
they just wouldn't transfer to the entry window when I invoked the LOGTHENPOP
macro. Once my run concluded, a quick close and re-open of N1MM fixed the
issue.
As ever I hoped to work WAS in a contest but failed to hear, never mind work,
AK, ND or DE. I was able to pick up the elusive WV and RI in the last hours of
the contest. Maybe a DE station would be willing to host a RTTY op in the
future??? I'm betting the pile-ups would be good.
Giving K5ZD and K0EG a shout out for having the highest rates on the online
scoreboard... 290 q/h and 283 q/h respectively. Who says RTTY is too slow and a
boring contest mode?
See you in WPX as WV1K.
73,
Rich N1IXF
