We decided to use WJ1Z this year rather than KK1L and invite a couple extra
operators over. We had a great time. We tried to balance the cost/benefit
relationship between the knee deep snow and severly frosty weather versus
temporary station improvments just for the contest. Based on the fine
multiplier and 160m totals from N9NS, we need to weigh the equation differently
next year! I spoke with one of the ops there before the contest, and I
confidently spoke of winning this year (attitude is the key!!!). I have to
admit to some level of intimidation when we started talking aluminum.
We had a FANTASTIC time. Four operators is perfect to keep the stations manned,
and allows for real time strategy discussions. We hung out on 10m for quite a
while as the rate was neck and neck with 20m. When we went to 15m for the first
time we worked 177 Qs in the first hour...smokin! We ran into a 30minute or so
lull around 01:30. The rates DOVE into the toilet, then picked up. We are not
sure what happened there.
