My rate hit 298 very breifly Sunday.. If just one more person would have
called. It went down very quickly..
This is also the highest Ive seen.
Too bad it didn't last a couple of hours.. I dont know if its configurable
in writelog but i wish the number of minutes it is based on wouldn't
fluctuate all over the place.

I had a blast. I had not intended to operate that much but I have always
loved 10 meters and just couldn't stop.. It is such a challenge when
conditions are flaky like they were this weekend..
I only remember working 1 africa station. 5u7jb.. stumbled on him hight in
the band he hadn't been spotted and had few callers.. otherwise i wouldn't
have got thru.

Hi Gordon, yeah He kinda caught me by surprise also! Almost fell out of my
chair. I didn't have anything pointed toward Africa as not much comes from
there anyway so it was a real surprise! I had my all time high rate in this
contest. Took a small break at noon Sunday and came back, found a open spot
and they jumped me. The rate meter hit 389 for several minutes and then went
back down as fast as it went up!!! Thats the best I have ever done! The one
lonely JA Sunday afternoon was another surprise. I think I got him via the
crooked path straight west as I had the top antenna beaming that way.
deciding where to put each antenna at any time is really hard to do when
conditions are like this. Normally, I keep the bottom one on Souh America
and the others on Euro or Ja depending the time of day. Most of the time in
this contest I beamed west, N west and N east with the top 3 and keep the
tribander on ZL. Kept me switching for sure! But was great fun! cul 73's
