Best NAQP ever but obviously much room for improvement! Rate was much
more consistent, but really
couldn't get anytype of run going. Usually my rate varies and I get a
good run for 1 or 2 hours. Rate
meter never got over the low 40's.
Had high hopes for 80m. I remember the January NAQP when 40m went long
and I had to take the 40m
vertical down to 80m. This time, the afternoon thunderstorms made 80m
very noisy. I could tell people
were calling me but couldn't pull them through the QRN. A beverage
(antenna that is) probably would have helped.
It's always interesting to see the improvements in results between cw
and phone due to changes I
make to the station during the 2 week space between contests.
Still can't computer log with desktop computer. Have to solve
horizontal sync noise from monitor. Booted
up 386 notebook with blown up serial ports (from lightening strike) just
before contest and it was giving me memory errors. Managed to limp
along with no serious errors through the contest.
Great fun. I really enjoy the NAQP's.
I have observed all competition rules as well as all regulations
established
for amateur radio in my country. My report is correct and true to the
best
of my knowledge. I agree to be bound by the decisions of the Awards
Committee.
