Comments:
Another fun Multi-Op PVRC effort is in the books at Poolesville. As always,
our first Thanks go to John Evans N3HBX for allowing us to invade The Farm and
play radio all weekend, and for all the hours of work it takes to maintain the
station and antenna systems.
Everything worked fine apart from one troublesome Mic cable and the 20-Meter
tower rotator, which happily was able to be re-directed to 60-degrees for the
bulk of the contest, so it did not materially affect our score.
Our team this time was Mark KD4D and Tim N3QE on the night shift, with help
from station-master John N3HBX himself on Saturday night. Excellent job on
those 6-pointers! It seems 80 was better on Saturday night than it was on
Friday.
I did day shifts with Masa AJ3M on Saturday and Bob W3IDT on Sunday - a
pleasure having both join us! We all worked together easily and did our best
to maximize rate across both radios. As we say, if the S&P guy is not
aggravating the Run op just a little bit, he is not being aggressive enough!
The Multi-Single rule of 10 band changes per hour is quite a challenge,
however. We observed higher QSO numbers from several Single Op stations early
in the event, as they parallel-CQ'ed on two bands or did traditional SO2R
without limitation, while we were stuck on one band. It rarely made sense to
change the Run station from band to band for fear of losing our run frequency.
20 and 15 were all the more packed with stations since 10-meters was a
non-factor ... is this what a downward-trending sunspot cycle feels like?
Yuck.
Anyway, eventually when the Single-Ops HP stations (the Hares) were taking
their mandatory Off-Times, we (the Tortoise) slowly crept back into the QSO
race, until the last two hours when K1LZ re-took the QSO lead for good while
working Europeans on 40 we could not even hear. But it appears we had barely
enough 6-pointers to make up for it. Anyway, good show Krassy and thanks for
the motivation!
Happy Easter to all and see you in the next one. Hourly rates included below.
