Comments:
First time putting in a semi serious effort on a two day contest, had plans to
operate as many hours as I can. I even skipped out on volunteer work... I
know, I feel bad about that, :-(
The early mornings and the afternoons into the night was great, had really good
runs.
During the day, however, things were slowing down due to limitations in my high
band antennas (all wire), where directionality and some gain could have made the
difference in continuing with the momentum. That fact alone was a big hit to my
motivation.
Online scoreboard was definitely a motivational factor for me to stay BIC. It
was funny to see how we were trading places on the live scoreboard, mostly
falling behind ;-)
Need to get an antenna switch so I don't have to walk around the house in order
to change bands.
