Comments:
A busy weekend, not a lot of BIC time, and a frustrating contest for me.
Since last August I have been swept up in the FT8 craze which has
short-circuited my quest to improve my CW skills. It showed! Above
about 20 WPM and/or a 3-digit exchange, I needed two or three attempts
to capture the exchange. My lack of typing skills made it worse.
As I was at my Maine QTH, my goals were obvious: finish 80M WAS (one
state: NV), 20M WAS (one state: DE) and CW WAS (6 states.) I also hoped
to make inroads into 15M WAS, where I need 15 states. Not interested in
a big score, I spent more time on those bands and searched for stateside
1-pointers rather than look for higher point Qs. That shows too.
And as it turned out, I didn't meet any of those goals! Frustrating.
