My first goal is always to improve my "personal best" score. Typically,
the only time I don't achieve this goal is if something breaks, or we
just have REALLY LOUSY band conditions....
I also have every intention of winning my section every time I go out.
I have a few times, and sometimes I get clobbered:-) But, if you are
going to enter limited Rover in the central division, you better bring
your A game:-) This is the REAL apples to apples results.
I don't believe there is much chance of me ever placing number one
nation wide, with or without the grid circler's... But I'm out there
swinging, and I believe I can crack top 10 someday. Maybe not this
year, but I'm not that far away. Someday I'll get back on 222 with
decent power, and then it might get interesting:-)
The east coast has a lot of VHF ops, there is no doubt about it, but
they also have some first class Rovers and home stations that know
contesting. Of course they win a lot.
