Comments:
This is the first year I ran LP. I set a goal of 100K and a sweep, which last
year took me 10.5 hours running HP SOA. I matched this but took almost 4 more
hour to complete. While I checked SO2R and indeed had two radios turned on,
it's hard to say I had much advantage from it. There is a mindset switch
needed to convert from a mouse centric way of operating so2r rtty, to a
keyboard based way of operating so2r anything else. I have work to do to
manage that better.
I also spend far more time than is warranted, chasing sections. Last one
worked was WV. Only sections with one worked were ONE, VI, and VT. Most
worked sections were VA (44) and MDC (42) which bodes well for PVRC!
Radios Two Elecraft K3, KT34A at 60 ft,
3 el Steppir at 48 ft

All qso's uploaded to LOTW, and hope yours are too!
