Bill, W4AN organized a bunch of sprint teams, and asked us to estimate
the
number of Qs we'd contriute, I looked over my old logs. My previous best
effort
in the CW spring was 35 Qs, 22 mults. That was back in 1989. I told Bill
to
expect 50, and I'm pleased to have provided more.
I got a late start, coming home after 0030Z due to some family
obligations.
I had just gotten my A3S up the morning, with a lot of help from K9AY.
Since I
was eager to try it out, I spent extra time on 20m. It appears to work
well,
much better than the R7000. I only used the R7000 for a couple of Qs on
40m.
The sprint is the most difficult contest around, and is even harder on
low
power. W4AN provided some helpful suggestions, which greatly improved my
score.
Of course, the biggest help would be able to copy 40+ wpm in my head
without
fills....
