Comments:
My best score in 5 years of doing SS CW as QRP!
I've been practicing every Thurs. night in NCCC Sprint,
and everything was working in the Friday night practice.
I was ready for a full-time effort. The last few years
I've finished 5th, 5th, and 5th, so I've been impatient
for some improvement. My plan was to run more and worry
about a sweep less. Also, not to spend time in pileups.
At the start, the first big windstorm for the fall led
to a couple power outages, but only a few minutes each.
I thought it was a slow start, but it seemed to pick up
later. I ended the evening with 414 by 77 Mults, ahead
of my previous years.
Sunday morning I started at O'Dark-Thirty and had a
fair rate. The sweep arrived by 9AM with QC, NE and WV.
Then the long slow walk to the end. I just kept grinding
them out. A lot of second radio S&P, and dueling CQs.
Nice to work local fellow islanders K6KR and K7RL.
Fun to work this QTH's former owner N0AX at W0EEE.
Thanks for listening for us QRPers, and for the contacts.
