Comments:
I've not tried the CQ 160 from my Mass QTH, with my
AAIBTNO* Zigpole, so I didn't expect much. But I thought
it was another chance to continue to improve my meager
CW skills. I was correct on both accounts. The fact that
most hams stay at "reasonable" wpm rates helps.
(* Any antenna is better than no antenna zig-zag dipole)
I had two dupes that I know of: hard for me to distinguish
2s and 3s at 30+ wpm. (Same as 5s and Hs.) I heard a lot
better than I was heard. Mostly S&P as it forces me to
listen better unless I saw a mult: then C&P.
It was also worthwhile to stick it out to the end: From 3-5 PM
today I logged 20 additional Qs. (~+ 13% more)
No Qs with the states I need in MA for WAS: AK, CA, HI,
NV, OR, WA, nor any new countries for DXCC.
Rig: TS-590SG
Antenna: dipole that zig-zags around my back yard at
an average of 15' high.
A combination of S&P and C&P.
