It's still April 1st (better known as April Fools Day) down here in
P4 land, but lets get you all some real numbers before it gets out of hand
with all the e-mail I have been getting.
First of all, rates and conditions WERE fantastic from P4, but this contest
I played things a little different.
As I was do a serious SOAB entry due to family commitments during this long
weekend I requested Randy (P43W) and Roderick (P43R) as guest op's for this
year's WPX for a MultiSingle P41P operation.
Since this was Rodericks 1st time on phone (no joke ;-), I had a lot of
operating and contest explaining to do before and during the contest. Most
of the time Roderick spent S&Ping on the multiplier rig, which definitelly
helped him get the feeling of what contesting was all about, but his real
test was when we let him loose on the 20 meter run radio. Boy, was he burned
out after a couple of hundred contacts. HiHi. You'll definitelly be hearing
more from him in the future!!
BTW, we did have a few network mishap's which might have caused some strange
numbers being posted before ;-)
Anyways, lot's of fun and some nice pileups during the contest. Equipment
used, some numbers and other statistics follow below.
