Comments:
I haven't operated the summer NAQP-CW for three years or so.
I had several things to be tested, so I spent a bit of
time in checking the repairs and comparing various antennas.
I had a feedline repair from the previous day to be tested,
I had a new 160m sloper antenna, and I needed lots of
practice with the new Kenwood TS-590s radios - even if it
meant stopping and reading the manual during the contest.
Only big problem was the computer froze just before 01z. I
had to reboot, so it was a good time for two hours off.
Despite the wasted time, I'm pretty happy with the score. I
was only aiming for 300 QSOs by 100 Mults.
I had hoped 10m would be good, but two hours of CQing and
watching the panadapter only yielded 8 QSOs. In contrast,
15m was so good I neglected 20m. After the computer decided
I should take a break, I just S&Ped 20m up to 160m. 40m was
good (just not enough time there), 80m was poor for the time
spent. I also spent too much time on 160m, but I wanted to
test the new sloper there. Gosh, more Qs and Mults than 10m!
