Comments:
Score down quite a bit from last year, about the same number of Q's but down on
Mults (on 80M) and down on qtcs (more on that later). Conditions Friday night
were challenging. It was hard to get a good decode on loud signals, and my
old
friend 2Tone seemed to struggle more than MMTTY. So quite early and came back
to a much improved Saturday morning. I felt like I needed to make q's and
held
off on doing QTCs which wasn't a good ides. I also had issues with both K3s
when sending QTCs, the rig would freeze with a DSE error code. I'd power the
rig off and try to save the contact but didn't always work that way. Hard to
say
this was worth the 300 qtcs I was short, but it didn't help. Also receiving
qtc
traffic is harder than just pressing the button to send so that helped wear
the
op down.
