Comments:
Set out with the usual goal of 500 QSOs to help the club score.
But watching the real time scores website made it very difficult to get out of
the chair.
As it was I didn't operate all that much on Sunday due to various
childrearing-related responsibilities.
My usually near-flawless remote setup (per the mid-week CWT) suddenly developed
latency which created lots of embarrassing QLF in my keyboard macros. Apologies
to the victims of this mess. I think it was the XFinity connection at fault,
not the WoW connection.
I did not chase mults but ended up with a near-sweep fairly easily this year
compared with other years. I'd been wondering the entire contest if someone
would activate WNY via @W2RE and finally it happened, but I felt guilty calling
for the mult while doing a casual effort.
My 80m antenna is an inverted U over 27 buried radials. Maybe one day this
won't be my most effective antenna.
I highly recommend that everyone set up their logger to post scores to the
online scoreboard. It really does add a nice entertaining dimension to the
contest.
73 and thanks for the Qs.
