Comments:
Single-op "assisted" is a bit of a joke; packet spots during a contest are a lot
like e-mail, you have to separate the good from the junk. As the contest went
on, the junk percentage was growing a LOT. Doesn't anybody LOOK at these posts
before they hit the Enter key? At least, you should determine that someone
actually HAS a frequency, and isn't just calling someone else, before you spot
him.
I looked at the numbers before the contest started and thought this might be a
long weekend, but I was pleasantly surprised. Conditions were very good, and I
did a whole lot better than I expected. This contest probably qualifies as a
"best ever" effort from this station, at least for single op.
Three hours before the end of the contest, calling CQ, I worked three dupes in
twenty minutes. Apparently many ops don't bother to check their logs to see if
they're wasting their time before calling someone. I at least try not to CALL a
dupe, if they call me, I figure, maybe I'm not in their log, I just work 'em.
All in all, it was a great time. Even my 80-meter antenna, the G5RV, made a fair
accounting of itself this time. Low band conditions were very good, and I picked
up a decent number of multipliers on 80 and 40. One of these days I'm going to
get something in the air for 160, although that may have to wait until I move to
a bigger property (hope, hope!).
