Comments: We had several conflicting sets of the rules. QST had the
correct dates, but said there was a "10-minute rule" (but didn't define
it). CQ had the contest being in the middle of the week, and no mention
of the "10-minute rule". The rules from the NCCC didn't mention a
10-minute rule either, but said logs needed to be submitted by a date in
1994, and that "YV1/VE8" was a multiplier. So, we inquired Friday night
both on packet as well as on the contest reflector.
AD6E passed on that they would not be holding multi-singles to a
10-minute rule, so off we went. We were a "fully-octopussed"
multi-single. Transmitters were interlocked, so only one signal on at a
time, but we jumped back and forth a lot. Great fun and a great
challenge. Spent lots of time on 20 AND 15, or 20 AND 40, hence the big
20 meter total. Once I had a frequency, I never wanted to let it go on
20! (By the way, since when is 14238 an SSTV frequency? Lots of jamming
from SSTVers there...)
Does anyone have a set of contest records for CQP handy? I have asked
many people for the M/S record, but no one knows for sure. I doubt if we
set a record, but it would be interesting to find out.
Thanks to all for the contacts and 73! Jim N6IG
