Comments:

The Stew Perry would be a 6-hour event for me this year. I was a late starter,
about 7 PM local time. The bandscope was full when I turned the rig on. I put
43 contacts in the log during my S&P effort the first hour. Conditions were
good with very low noise. I decided to see if I could RUN stations. I found a
quiet spot 1.5 kHz up from the bottom of the band and spent the next 3 hours
working stations. Although I was running LP, there never was a frequency fight!
Amazing! During my run, K9FD/KH6 was the only DX that called. The final hour I
went back to S&P to find fresh stations. I put 30 more stations in the log,
including GM3POI, N0FW/PJ2, and P40W. Although the RAC Contest had finished
early, I worked 11 more VE's during the Stew Perry, 7 of them in Ontario. The
only issues I had were minor software annoyances that were mostly from operator
fatigue... dang cursor focus was always in the wrong spot when I started typing
a callsign!
