hi - first time this contest, I think I did OK:
band QSO St Prov DX
80m 10 1 0 0
40m 35 1 0 0
20m 77 3 1 5
15m 233 23 5 19
10m 200 19 5 13
total 555 47 11 37
555 Q x 95 mults = 52725 claimed
FT1000D, C3SS at 10m for 10/15/20, wire loop at 3-6m (around house) for 40/80
Writelog with MMTTY plugin (SO1R)
I had hoped for 400 Qs and 80 mults - was nice to beat that!
Got home from family holiday trip friday night. Shack in shambles, nothing
ready, got on the air 48 minutes late....
Poor 40/80 antenna or I might have operated the full 24 hours - wait til
next year!
In every contest that counts states, I always come up one short. This time
the winner was ND. For provinces, I missed NWT, which is closer to working
all provinces than I have managed in the past.
Big thrill was working all seven "real" continents (nice to work EM1HO).
Also appreciated the YUK, NB, and NS stations finding me on my calling
frequency!
Biggest bummer is the "six hour rest in two blocks" - I'd really prefer a 30
minute rule like some other tests - then I get to eat with the family. If
anyone
who matters is listening, please consider this a vote...
Looking forward to the WPX test next month!
