First Stew contest for me, and I'm not a VHF contester - having the grid square
as the exchange threw me for a loop at first. The first few QSO's I kept
blanking when someone would come back with "EN..." - I kept thinking it was a
cut number RST or something.
I could hear a lot more than could hear me. Probably if I had run the 400w amp
I would have been balanced in rec/xmit range, but CE1/K7CA was loud and he
could never hear me. Ditto for several EU stations.
I really enjoyed the scoring algorithm, got obsessed looking at the N1MM QSO
point readout. I spent a lot of time calling weaker stations to maximize the
points that would come back. I think UA2FF or SK2W was my top score - a 22
pointer - worth 11 FM19ers!
