Well many of the people living in SF are interesting, and REAL
may not be the operative description, but there seemed to be a shortage
of contesting hams this weekend.

I have counted on N6RA calling me on backscatter in every contest
needing SF for about the last 5 years, and he was sorely missed this
year. I guess I got spoiled.

On Sunday afternoon, with 76 down and 1 to go, I tuned up and down
the bands listening only to weak backscatter signals until I finally
found AA6YX calling CQ with no takers. The first try, he gave up on me
as unreadable after several minutes of callsign and exchange guessing <sigh>,
but about 5 minutes later, I peaked his signal with the beam southeast
(he is due north from here), and managed to get through after several
more repeats. Thanks to everyone who was not calling him and thanks to
him for his patience.

It did give me the opportunity to try CQing a while on 10 meters in
hope of finding a SF tech up there, so I got 8 Qs with locals in
the 1 digit serial number range, and 3 east coast stations
who were also foolish enough to be on 10. There were lots of signals
from South America, though.

Other than that exercise and the usual debates over frequency
homesteading, it was a fun weekend and I made my goal of 2,000 Qs
combined CW and Phone.

Comments:
---------
New Wisconsin record.  #2 W9 record....only 60 Q's away.  Watch out W9RE!
   That PINS program must REALLY be helping.
First few hours rate:  103, 128 (15M), 90, 75, 101 (80M)
Can't believe almost a kilo-Q on 80M.  Has that ever been done before
   on 80M for SS?
The beverages on 80 were a godsend.  I can't believe how directive they
   are for being as short as they are (~600').  I'm not sure I would have
   had half as many Qs on 80 without them.  The 2el beam is a great antenna,
   but it sure takes a lot of time rotating it.  This weekend I touched
   the rotator a TOTAL of TWO times...west late sat and back east sun morn.
ALL equipment worked flawlessly.  I guess we're finally getting the bugs
   ironed out.  Maybe it's to to rebuild the station?

Big thanks to my host, KS9K, for control over the mega-station.  I think
  its about time to change my station address to KS9K's QTH  :)




Massive analysis:
-----------------

First, some info that is needed to qualify this data.  95.2% of my QSOs
were from CQing.  Only 88 QSOs were S&P style.


Power Usage:
                 of        of  of        of  of        of  of        of  of
             all tot   80M tot 80    40M tot 40    20M tot 20    15M tot 15

QSOs        1855       981 53%       307 17%       360 19%       207 11%

A power     1251 67%   620 50% 63%   234 19% 76%   251 20% 70%   148 12% 71%
B power      548 30%   334 61% 34%    63 11% 21%   102 19% 28%    49  9% 24%
Q power       56  3%    27 48%  3%    11 20%  4%     8 14%  2%    10 18%  5%


This table is a little busy, but it has a lot of data.  "of tot" is the
percentage of total QSOs for that line.  "of 80" means the percentage
of the QSOs on 80.  So, for A power, I worked 50% (620) of all my A power
contacts (1251) on 80M.  Of the QSOs on 80M (981), 63% (620) used low
power.

So, 67% use low power and a measly 30% use the amp, or so they say :).
Does it surprise anyone that 80M has the highest percentage of amp users
and the lowest percentage of 100 watters?


How about those people seeking PINS?

#1's received     69  4% of total Qs
<#50 received    756 41%
<#100 received  1193 64%
<#200 received  1563 84%



Okay, now for some section data:
(some things to keep in mind is my section, WI, and most of my Qs were on 80)
