Soapbox: First time to break 1K Q's in a RTTY contest. Overall, excellent
conditions for the first day and very good conditions for the
second. Manage to beat last years effort by a small amount despite a
slightly lower mult count.
It was interesting to start on 10, work the band until it softened, move to
the next one and run it dry. Each segment lasted over 2 hours each and by
the end of the first 12 hours I had over 750 Q's in the log. The second
shift, of only 9 hours, had a lot more S&P as the crowd seems much lighter
on the second run. The DX turn out was OK, but a little on the light side
on both days.
As always - THANKS! to all those I worked in the contest... look forward
to working you all in the next one.
73, Bart - VE5CPU
