Second on all of that. First time running a mixed mode SO contest. First time
using packet as a serious SO. First time using Win-Test for a SO2R contest
effort.
Hectic weekend - left Knoxville 10 am Friday>500 mile drive>K8AZ>sleep 8
hours>24 hour contest>sleep 6 hours>500 mile drive>home 11:30 pm Sunday night.
I'm TIRED and taking Monday off work as a mental health day.
Contest went well. Only mistake was I should have worked more SSB in the first
few hours during peak EU. No Europe heard or worked on 15.
First time with Win-Test SO2R. I'm doing it wrong, but I am not familiar
enough with the software yet to understand the SO2R operation the "right" way.
It went fine regardless, but I need some face time with the manual and the
program during a non-contest situation to maximize my use of it. I bought it 2
years ago; you'd think by now I'd have gotten around to it...
Mni Tnx to Tom, K8AZ for having me over to run this one as a single op this
weekend.
