Comments:
Asssited operators continue to be punished by the contest rules. I like to
operate assisted with low power, 100 watts, but I am lumped in with the 1500
watt guys. This makes it impossible to judge how I stack up with other low
power crew. Continue to worry about category creep and whether enough people
will sponsor plaques, etc. Bogus excuses for the attitude: the asssited guys
are not macho/real contesters!
Despite that the contest was fun and crowded. Low noise levels too. I almost
had WAS - missed ND, SD and KL7. I heard KL7 a few times but could not break
the pile. I never heard ND or SD. I think those poor people froze to death.
Heck it's only 14F here on the tropical island of Long. Brrrr...rrrrr!
I even managed to work a few new ones. Eventually I will get DXCC on 160, I
hope. The four 1/4 wave radials at 8 feet will have to come down in March to
do the gardening. The antenna is an ugly L but it works.
Strongly consider creating a LOW POWER ASSISTED category!
