Comments:
I'm kind of a rtty rookie and it showed a lot the 1st day. I wasn't having a
lot of fun Friday night so Saturday morning I was doing a lot of complaining and
my tech guru came to the rescue and gave me some help learning a few things
about the mmtty rtty engine. From that point on I was definitely having more
fun and having more success tuning people in. I did almost all s&p that
first day and was doing a lot of mult hunting and getting better with things in
general. Running increased my Q rate but I have a rather small antenna farm and
did what I could to get the totals up while trying to increase the 3 pointers as
much as I could.
I nevertheless had a lot of fun. The off times for this contest were greater
than 60 minutes so it appears I put a lot of time in but I think that was
deceiving. Putting time in outside of the headphones was enjoyable and my ears
never bothered me but my neck and shoulders took a hit from having to stare at
the monitor. I even rearranged my n1mm windows to not look up as high as I was
which helped but by that time the damage was done, hi. This was only an so1r
operation as stn 1 doesn't do any digital work and I don't know what I would do
if I did have to fit another digital window on my already crowded contesting
monitor. We will have to work on that and if I ever get my K4 delivered things
will certainly improve to make better use of my so2r experience.
I look forward to getting better with the digital end of things and if I stop
putting things off I hope to have a better antenna situation next year too.
Famous last words of a top notch procrastinator. You gotta be good at something
I guess.
