Analysis compared to 2009:
Increased Q's by 75%
Slightly increased sections and countries
Increased score by 62%
On time 7.75hrs, reduced compare to 9hrs in 2009.
Increased Q rate from 16 to 29 per hour
Put up the inverted L higher than last year, made a big difference.
Could have increased Q rate by staying up later at nightâ??but just could not
do it, my week was tough as I had to travel and got in very late on the
thursday, so I just could not muster the energy or bring myself to try the 5 hr
energy drinks. Will save them for ARRL INT DX. To top it off we had a large
rain/windstorm (110Km/hr wind) on friday that broke the guys to the inverted-L
and it was sort of S shaped when the contest started. Have to think about
alternates antennas for next year.
I didn't have a chance to prepare for this contest and it shows. I could have
done alot better but it just was not in the cards.
Propagation was poor in general, I did not make it past the midwest or have
good propagation into EU. No major runs on saturday or sunday.
To sum up, challenging antenna and preparation led to mediocre performance. I
did better than last year so I am pleased, but I could have done alot better.
Till Next Year!!
Cheers
Tony
