Comments:
This was my first serious attempt at an HF contest after several years of only
VHF contests, so there was a lot of uncertainty as to how it would go. After
few initial issues getting the logging software to behave I settled in and was
able to get in a grove of making contacts. I was happy to see much more adoption
of FT4 compared to the VHF contests, so contacts were much faster than I
anticipated. I started out with a goal to try and make at least 200 contacts. I
had surpassed that before the 12 hour mark, so doubling that became the new
goal. Needless to say, at the end of the contest I was pretty happy for the
initial outing. I surpassed my goals and had fun while doing it. My limited
antennas performed better than I expected.
