Comments:
I thought conditions were very good. MY local noise was gone, the skip was not
going over me, rather I had good condtions into the SF Bay area and to the
east.
20m was a pleasant surprise, maybe I could have stayed there longer and raised
my Q total.
When I started the Sprint my goal was 175 q's, if i was having a god night then
200 q's, but didn't make either, ended up with 156. I know the log checker will
have a field day with me, I will really get hammered.
Spent probaly 85% CQing and using the A/B VFO attempting to stay outside the
main skrimish area and with a slower speed of 25-28wpm to encourage folks to
call. For the most part that tatic worked. I know I was loud since i would
usually end up with a small pileup all on exactly the same frequency. Even
the narrow filter (250) didn't help. Got to get the ears trained better.
All in all a good time, now back to some excellent downhill skiing.
