After last year's bitter disappointment with my first ever attempt at Assisted,
I went back to the way things were meant to be. My multiplier total went
significantly down: from Assisted 561 (138 + 423) to Unassisted 452 (120 +
332). Almost equal total points, though. Instead of watching spots I could
concentrate a bit more on operating and compensate for lost multipliers with
gained QSOs. Most importantly, my fun went significantly up. Different game,
this real thing: non-assisted. Well, I have to admit that learning to use the
N1MM bandmap and available mults/Qs windows to store little gems found during
S&P for quick and efficient later use, instead of writing "reminders
to self" on stickies, also helped :^)
Made over 100 "local" QSOs on 160 m using my 80/40 vertical. Please,
do not ask about SWR - could not be measured: off the scale.
Again personal best, despite my total lack of drive at the end. Once, with
quite a few hours to go, I set the new CQWW CW all-time personal benchmarks
(Qs, points, multipliers, etc.), I somehow totally lost interest and just kept
coasting with a beer in hand. Judging by the results of those hours, I might
have quit all-together...
