Comments:
300 Qs looked tantalizingly possible as I moved to 80. But the noise level
was ugly. My ears feel blooded. Still managed to squeeze some distant Qs out
of the S9+10dB noise. I must have seemed like an alligator. Sorry for so many
fill requests.
Two band changes. I stayed on 20 longer than usual which netted VE1, VE7, RI,
NC, ID, and AK between 0116 and 0136. I only worked 3 more mults the rest of
the contest. Good move except for the slower Q rate. 40 played reasonably well.
I really miss the 4el KLM we had up for years, though! 80 was jumping until all
the loud locals were in the log.
A number of times I never heard the confirm message from my Q-mate due to the
answering frenzy. What good is the confirmation if the one person who is
supposed to hear it cannot? I also observed this happen while waiting for
completion of other's QSOs. I realize this is nothing new. Part of the game.
Congrats to the high scorers out there. The best four hours of contesting.
73,
David N6AN
