Comments:
I think we did well for a lightly-staffed Multi-Two, with a mid-day hour
off the air, and only one operator for last seven hours. While solar flux
was high, conditions were disturbed with lots of weak, fluttery and
warbled signals. On 10m and 15m we could never hear many of the close-in
states. 15m died long before 40m was workable, 80m was slow, and we never
even got on 160m.
One thing I really enjoy about NAQP SSB is the chance to be
"friendly"
on the air. Yes, I know "extraneous words" slow the rate, and if I
know
people are waiting I avoid it, but most of the time this little
"enjoyment"
is needed to keep me in the chair and continue the contest through the
sideband splatter, weak conditions, noise and nets.
Three of the four ops are NCCC members for the NAQP Club Challenge.
Thanks for the contacts, see you in NAQP RTTY on February 22!
