Comments:
I worked hard on Saturday, but basically took Sunday off. Really enjoyed using
my new FT-2000 for the first time in a cw contest and N1MM Logger for the first
time ever.
N1MM was really a joy to use. Lot's of very useful tools and easy to learn. I
only had a few days to familiarize myself with the program, but had no problems
on "game day". I was forced to switch to N1MM because my usual logging program
did not yet have FT-2000 support. After seeing how well N1MM performed, it will
probably become my regular contest logging software.
The FT-2000 worked great in the contest environment. No problems. By next
year, I hope to give SO2R a try (still have my trusty FT-1000MP).
The contest started slow for me, with line noise and what seemed like poor
conditions on 15, 20, and 40. Could never get any decent runs going until I
moved to 80. After that, conditions seemed much better on all bands and the
rest of the contest was fun.
Worked 79 sections - missed NL.
73, Bob - W3YY
