Comments:
This weekend is always tough to squeeze in time on the radio.
I managed 16 hours of S&P time. Averaged 26.6 Q's per hour, 2.3 per minute.
Chasing mults was sometimes difficult with low power.
First time trying assisted, which was more of a distraction than productive
compared to sweeping the bands unassisted. I quickly learned not to pounce on
a
new one too quickly as almost all the big guns were there too. By waiting a
while I'd then have a chance to get through in a few calls. K5NA was a
competitor in the S&P, but we didn't compete too much, and he always won :-)
I stayed on 40 most of Saturday night from 0400z-1230z , with brief excursions
to 80 & 160, hoping for one last band with TX3A. This took an hour, as he was
barely readable until finally marginal Q5 at 1215z.
Sunday at the end I managed to snag new mults from zones 24, 26, 27, 28 in
asia
on 20M.
