Last year I lost the W1 low-power title by a few QSOs to WA1EHK. I knew I
could not compete this year with taking the Christmas tree down Saturday
afternoon and watching the N.E. Patriots clinch the AFC East title on Sunday
afternoon. I merely hoped to pick up a few new RTTY band countries and band
states. My first three QSOs were with ZF2NT on 15, 10 and 40 meters (thanks
for being so active, Bruce!). I worked ME and WI on 10m, and DE on 3 new bands
(thanks W3PP!). TF was new on 40. I listened on 80m several times but heard
no one. Guess since multipliers count only once, it's best to be on the most
runnable band. I missed NH and RI, heard VT but didn't call it.
I'm submitting my meager log as a CHECK LOG since I solicited a QSO on packet
Sunday morning (looking for W3PP on 10m). I ran mostly low power but turned
the amp. on for about 1/2 dozen QSOs. I found some of my QSOs with packet, but
ran most of the contest without it.
A few times Writelog started to transmit but only a solid carrier for a few
seconds, then began to send the FSK. I did have DX4WIN running in the
background, it may have been trying to access the sound card at the time time.
Other than that, I had no lockups or loss of sound or any other software
problems.
73 & thanks for all the fish - Jim AD1C
