Comments:
My goal this year was to use K8CC's contest station with my OM John K8UP and
learn more about contesting. We were there the entire contest time.
Analysis -- First time as SO for SS and lesson learned was "learn your body".
For me that translates to work for no more than 4 hours and take a break no
matter what, sleep at least 6.5 hours, get plenty to drink but eat lightly,
stretch the legs.
Another one was "don't be afraid to ask". If you need a band the other guy is
on to get that multiplier, ask if you can have it for a minute. The name of the
game is cooperation. I worked both S & P and running and found running much more
enjoyable. 76% of my QSO's were from running.
Suggestion for next year -- Plan better and get more Q's then John K8UP
