Comments:
Worked a QRP Sweep! Thank you to VO1HP for ruling his
pileup and getting me through. I raised my score from
last year. This score last year would have been #3, we'll
see how much improvement there's been.
I was well prepared in advance with the Thursday night
NCCC Sprints and the Friday night practice. All the
equipment worked fine, but I'm suspicious of a bad audio
amp in the right rig - makes signals sound warbly.
10m was not as good as a couple weeks ago. It was GOOD,
but still not INCREDIBLE. 10m was good for the first
hour, and then for about 3 hrs on Sunday. QRP was easier
going on 15m and 20m, as many 10m signals were a tad weak.
I operated 11 hrs straight, took 6 hrs off, and operated
13 hrs to the end. I think I missed 6 minutes of operating
time :-) As usual, K4RO and a couple others had higher
numbers when I worked them, but I play catch-up well on
Sunday.
THANK YOU to the many polite ops who asked and answered
fills, I was trying to make sure I didn't make any
errors by guessing, and I know my QRP triggers a few
fills for the listener.
A tiring run, but I'm pleased to have raised my personal
QRP record. Is a QRP Sweep Mug just the size of a shot
glass?
