Our best NAQP SSB in the dozen years that I can remember!
10m was a great start, with Mork K6UFO running 182 contacts in
the first hour! But 10m faded after two hours, so we had a
chance to work on the crowded and noisy 20m band.
15m and the "new-guy" Jake K6MP were no slouches starting with
three straight hours of rate over 100 QSOs/hr. 15m lasted until
about 3PM in the afternoon, and 40m was slow starting up. but
40m was shining by 5PM.
80m and 160m took a long time to improve. Listening on 160m
just before the 10th hour, there wasn't anything but a couple
locals. 160m was much better in the 11th and 12th hours.
K6UFO and K6MP were the iron hams on site for the full 12 hrs.
A continuing thank you to Rebar N6DB for loan of his K3 and P3,
it makes searching the band so much easier! And speaking of
Rebar N6DB - even with his left hand in a cast, he two-finger
typed a hundred QSOs for the team. Clayton NF1R showed his
impressive way of making QSOs faster and faster - even during
the usual mid-day lull. Surprise visitor Chris K6SF came in to
work a couple hours. A great relief to us, and another NCCC
participant for the club competition! John W6LD came in after
sunset when we needed his help to motivate the low bands into
better shape. He calmly alternated CQing and S&P, and enjoyed
greeting the local NCCCers.
This is the highest NAQP SSB score we've made (according to my
poor memory), and all six operators are NCCC members for
the Club competition. See you in NAQP RTTY on February 23rd!
...for the W6YX team, K6UFO Mork!
