Comments:
I had a nasty respiratory infection; it felt like I was running a low grade
fever around 21Z. I stopped for a half hour, medicated, and felt better. The
first 4 hours or so of NAQP are contest torture from the East Coast, you can't
run anywhere at a fast rate, can barely run at all on 10M and you get to listen
to all the competition out west running madly trouncing you. Best defense is S&P
most of the time which wears you down after a while. I went to 40 early after my
break which was a good move. Rates were decent the rest of the contest, but
nothing sustained fast for more than 45 minutes. 40, 80, and 160 in turn all
sounded very good with no noise. I was able to work CA, OR, WA and MT on 160
all by 04Z. Just before 04Z, the bug took its toll, meds had all worn off and
my throat was feeling pretty miserable, so although not totally spent, I called
it a night. This was a personal best for me, could have easily broken 230K or
more with a full time effort. The moves went well, moved XE2MX and AL1G to two
additional bands each, Tnx! W4OC in SC moved to all bands around 21Z except
160. Almost all moves were successful. Mults worked on all six bands were: AL,
CA, DE, FL, GA, IL, KY, MA, MD, MT, NC, NY, PA, VA, WA, VE3 = 17 total. I would
have missed several local mults in DE, MD, and PA without moves, thanks KE3X,
K3ONW, and N3DXX. Thanks for the Q's and moves and glad to help out with the WV
mult. I worked only 2 WV stations.
