Comments:
Another S&P event for me.
At one point in the contest, I checked my score and found I had 123,456 points.
I was going to stop there just for the novelty but good sense got the better of
me so I took a screen shot and saved it and pressed on.
The low bands weren't too bad. 160 was good but my peanut whistle just doesn't
cut it that good. Managed a few contacts there over all but less than last
year. 80 was a lot better than last year as I almost doubled the Qs and more
than doubled the points. 40 played well as did 20, 15 and 10. I managed to
increase my totals for each band except 160.
Stopped in to VO1MP to watch Yuri VE3DZ/VO1AAM operate SO2R for a few minutes
after breakfast. After seeing him in action, it may be something I could learn
to do eventually. I'd have to get a new QTH though.
Had a lot of UO1HE, VO1SE and such so hopefully it won't hurt my score too
much. Speaking of which, I had a peak at the score again with about 40 minutes
to go and saw it was 424,424 so, for novelty, I decided to stop.
I had hoped to get all 40 zones but that didn't work out. Never got any
propagation to OC during the times I was on. Maybe next year.
Anyway, thanks to all that heard me and CU in the next one. I may give the ARRL
160 a go next weekend. It'll be tough without an amp on that band though.
