Comments:
I entered this test Single-Op Assisted, Single Band 160 Meters mainly
as a warm-up for the ARRL 160 test next week. My main goals were to
stay up all night and to make more points than last year.
Regarding the first goal, I failed. By the end of the European
opening each night, I was unable to maintain momentum, even after a 2
hour nap. Both nights, I got up at 0930Z and checked the packet
cluster to see what I missed, and then went back to sleep. I've never
been an all night person.
I suppose I could multi-op, but K8ND keeps running off to the
Caribbean, and one can't enter as a multi-op in a single-band
category.
Regarding the second goal, I succeeded. About 33% more Qs and about
the same number of multipliers makes a bigger score.
I operated for the first 20 minutes with the wrong zone programmed in
my exchange message. I manually corrected the Cabrillo log to reflect
the error. Only 4 contacts were affected.
See everyone in the ARRL 160.
