Comments:
No idea what my score is. I was using a version of CT that did not have this
'Test. I used the NAQP module -- enter received grid in Name field, and enter
MD in state field for every QSO; then tweak the Cabrillo log.
Family fun took priority. No time for pre-contest prep; rushed into the 'Test
Sat nite for a few hours of fun. Several station glitches getting started.
Notably, the filter selection on the TS-850 had, unnoticed, gotten set to
wide-open. Made the band sound like I was using my AR-3 from 52 years ago.
After I got that straightened out things went OK. I called CQ until it so slow
that even I was bored, then did S&P until I found a new CQ freq.
Condx must have been great for knowledgable op's with real stations. I got
called by VE7, Ore, and Wash. I worked CA. I heard F5VHY call a RI stn (first
EU I ever heard on 160), and then -- mirabile dictu -- I worked a G, my first
European on 160.
