What should I think if I am 150 miles from a top scoring contest operator in a
middling location, not horrid place and.........
I am a good short term contester and my co-operator is excellent. We were on
the whole contest and made about 37 Qs per hour overall. We fully experienced
dead bands/times, and did diligent search for any possible people to work,
working out several bands several times.
Now abt 150 miles away, that other contest operator turned in over 90, that is
NINETY, contacts per hour averaged over the whole contest (phone).
What am I to think? how did 'the other guy' get such a much higher rate when
we were hearing the same bands????
Lets give the other guy a rate of 30 more QSO per hour to allow for his skill,
desirable call sign, but same antennas. That makes a huge 67 Qs/hour. or more
than one per minute, FOR THE WHOLE CONTEST, averaging over the whole time.
Sixty-seven is still huge.
What am I to think? K4VUD
Details of who/where are cloaked but principle is same
