Comments:
The first contest with my new call. I noticed a lot fewer repeat requests on
the call, which was a nice surprise. And as this call hadn't been used in the
past (to the best of my knowledge), it wasn't in the pre-fill - so there were
several (more than usual) requests to fill in the Name and State...
I got started a little late as the XYL wanted to do some shopping and I took
her out to lunch. I started on 10 meters, but didn't find much activity there.
So I moved to 15 meters (all S&P), then to 20, then 40 about a 1/2 hour
before sunset. I stayed on 40 for the rest of the contest, with an occasional
foray to 80. To help with the ringing in my ears and high noise on the lower
frequencies I treated myself to about 3 fingers of Johnnie Walker Red, sipping
it as I spun the dial. Sometimes a little alcohol is needed to help with BIC
time... hi hi
I more than doubled my score from last year... More Q's and more Mults.
All in all, a very enjoyable contest, despite the static crashes and high noise
level at my QTH.
