Comments:
It might be hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but maybe I'm starting to
get it. This was a HUGE personal victory for me! My previous highest Q
total in a RTTY contest (not counting Caicos) was 600-something (once). I
passed that by Saturday night, and everything on Sunday was just personal
gravy! There's no substitute for "time in the chair", and this one's no
exception. I think this was my first major full time effort since Caicos a
year ago, and it was sure worth it! Various goals presented themselves on
Sunday - 700, then 800. I didn't think I could make 900, but it turned out
that I had miscalculated my time by 1 hr in my favor, so that last hour
allowed me to make 900. I had the whole family double checking the math on
the times! Actually, they were simple:
0202 - 0355
1210 - 0306
1124 - 0031
I have no idea why I achieved the big increase in performance other than a
little more experience. However, I still made some stupid mistakes. I
really missed out on mults on 40 and 80M. Great contest - Thanks BARTG!
