In 2002, I entered the WPX SSB contest in a focused way for the first time.
My experience convinced me that WPX is one of the best contests around -
high rate, lots of great DX, and 12 hours of sleep! I resolved to compete
seriously in 2003 (my 2002 entry was compromised by 7 hours of off-time on
Saturday night for our family passover Seder). I asked around a bit, and
VE1JF was kind enough to invite me to operate his fine station - a station
that I felt was capable of delivering at least 10MM points and probably a
top-ten in the world score.
I have posted the third chapter of this saga at http://www.k6if.com . This
chapter is a review of the creation of my draft operating plan.
I hope you find it entertaining and possibly useful.
I am not writing this story to appease my ego, or to promote my effort. I
am writing it to entertain, and perhaps to educate those new contesters who
might be interested. If you find this offensive or objectionable, please
let me know. If I get enough negative commentary, I will cease and desist.
