WANTED: Your hourly rate breakdowns for the 1993 CQWW 160 CW contest.
We (WA8QAF,NM8R,and KI8W) worked the contest last January from NM8R and
would like to see how we did for the time we operated. Because of lack of
planning, receive antennas and other commitments, we were only able to
operate from 6pm Friday until 2:30 am (local) Saturday. I would like to
see how we compared with other stations at that point. I'm actually
trying to talk the guys into doing it again this year but for the whole
contest!
If you can help, send your breakdowns to ad196@leo.nmc.edu.
Thanks. Barry Martz, KI8W

Dave, here's another look at the same phenomenon:
Continent Statistics
AG6D Multi Single 28 Nov 1993 2359z
160 80 40 20 15 10 ALL PCT
North America 8 27 112 140 74 15 376 15.7
South America 2 6 13 25 23 12 81 3.4
Europe 0 14 54 360 12 0 440 18.4
Asia 2 100 794 264 207 0 1367 57.2
Africa 0 5 10 9 9 3 36 1.5
Oceania 3 10 32 18 21 7 91 3.8
We don't have quite the antenna system you do, and there's no doubt we
could have spent more time on 80/160 looking for EU, but we did a
reasonable job from the mult stn picking up spots and s&p'ing throughout
the contest. 20m on Sunday was very frustrating trying to work EU --
(5el on 50' boom @ 90') -- they all sounded like PED -- same signal level
and frequency. Difficult to hold much of a rate.
We just hope the JA's stick with us, especially until the cycle turns
up again. 73, Steve N4TQO.
