This is so late because I copied on paper and had to manually enter the log.
What a job. But I just can't see logging on computer while driving, whereas
logging on paper is not too hard.
This was a solo operation in a rental car, and getting set up was a pretty big
job. Fortunately, I had a great place to work in K8CC's driveway on Friday
afternoon. I thought I was ready for Saturday but I had problems with my 40
meter antenna and fixing this cost me a lot of time. I had only 78 Q's during
the first two hours. I also missed a turn in SHIA and found myself in GENE, way
off of my scheduled route. Going back would have meant spending too much time
in SHIA, so I had to alter my scheduled route and had to drive most of the last
three hours. This actually worked out fairly well and I was able to hit three
counties in my last hour for 92 contacts, which made up a little bit for the
lousy first hours.
There are 15 minutes unaccounted for between my first and second counties, so it
appears that I may have lost a logsheet. Another problem with logging on
paper.
Someday I'll get my act together and hit 750 contacts in a solo operation in
this event, but the K8MR team raised the bar so high this year that it now seems
nearly impossible for a solo op to win against the two-man teams. Still, it's
fun trying.
Congrats to all the mobiles and thanks to the MRRC for sponsoring a great
contest event! See you all in Ohio in August.
73,
Hal W1NN
