Comments:
My first time in Jan. NAQP SSB (I've done Jan. NAQP CW for years).
All but the first hour of NAQP SSB overlapped with ARRL VHF SS,
which I enjoy. So, I alternated between contests in order to help
the PVRC club score. 18-19 Z I ran on 15 and 20 m.and made 82 Qs
in 0.9 hr. for 91/hr. As usual the VHF test slowed down a lot after
2 hr, so I did NAQP again 21-22 Z and found it noisy, crowded, and
SLOW, 41/hr running and tuning. Same on 40 m. when I tried it again
for 50 min. starting 0200, 39/hr. I did find 33 mults on 40 m., 10
more than any other band. Late in the evening VHF slowed as usual, so
I went to 80 m. and had a great run: 78 Qs in 0.9 hr for 85/hr., with
the short-term rate meter swinging between 40 and 200. On 80 m.
7 more Qs in half the time compared with 40! Half asleep, I tried
160 m. at 0430 Z and woke up in a hurry: 13 Qs and 9 mults. in 14
min. before the rate dropped and I quit for shower and bed.
