Comments:
We finished with 99.8% of the old (last Feb) M/2 record, and our
highest Multiplier count ever, but not enough to beat the rapidly
increasing (and well-deserved) scores of the tough competitors.
We had a great equipment lineup, with two Elecraft K3s and two
Yaesu FT-1000MPs. Each station had both MMTTY and 2Tone decoders
running, and our Writelog setup has been incrementally improved
for years. In 12 hrs, only one software problem with the program
closing and having to be restarted and reconnected, during which
I lost one person who had been calling - Sorry! I hope you got us
later.
The antenna setup gave us a few problems, with too much power line
noise being picked up on the C-31xr, and feedlines disconnected or
moved on a couple other antennas.
The operator lineup was fantastic, with at least three people all
day, so we could have 2 ops running, and 1 searching for Multipliers.
Thank you to the people who moved to other bands when requested - it
really makes the operators happy when a QSYer shows up! K6UFO and
ND2T started the running, and both stayed all day! N6DB, K6SF, NF1R
all put in good sessions during the daytime. AA6XV worked a couple
QSOs to get the participation points for the NCCC. KZ2V arrived late
afternoon and stayed with us to the end.
Good activity: 3 good hours on 10m, 5 good hrs on 15m, 20m, and 40m.
Even 80m was acceptable at the end. We'll have to figure out how to
operate faster, with fewer fills to increase our score. Thanks for
all the contacts!
