Comments:
My apologies for some QLF posts. I really appreciated all the KL8C posts made in
the CW SS, so tried to - give back - in this event.
Unfortunately, the packet module in WL is still crapped, so each post
required:
1. Switching to the DX Summit Page
2. Manually typing in my call, the call spotted, freq, sec ,etc.
3. Clicking the Submit button
For some anal reason, I decided to keep copies of all my posts (forgetting I
could get these via a database). So each time, I also had to click on the 25
recent spots, highlight the entry I posted, copy that into a Notepad file and
save it before returning to WriteLog. "DUH!" Not very productive;-(
Each time I worked an Alaska station, I wished I had gone back up there for the
Phone SS vs. operating from this RF Hole. But if I didn't contribute at least
50K to the infamous contest-within-a-contest at hand, I'd feel guilty.
Starting at 2100, I lasted about 50 minutes after 25 calls before working VY2ZM
and 15 calls to work another rare mult. I was getting beat up pretty bad.
Since this was not going to be an all-out effort, I turned everything off, ate
half of my Panda Express dinner, some chocolate, and took a two hour nap. That
was great!
Things improved awhen I got back on and I actually started having some fun
working some of the contest regulars, so put in more time (albeit still
yearning to be signing KL8C again).
My preference remains: CW - CW - CW, 'cuz it's like music vs. {end of
soapbox}.
73 & Tnx for all the Q's and some mini-rag chews along the way...
Rick, K6VVA
