Interesting; Spent 4 hrs more in chair this year. Increased raw score from 121K
to 207K, WPX up by 50 pts, QSO up by 110 and QSO pts up by 225 pts - something
like a 1/3 over all increase in results - score I guess up by 70 pct or so.
Condx were lousy - hardly worked any EU - hardly heard them. Of course I should
not complain since others way north of me had it even worse. So I am surprised
that my score went up. Had a good couple of runs on 15M which helped - even
when one run freq was just taken over. The other one I lost is ok - not the PY
station's fault he could not hear my 100w signal and everyone else would rather
work him than the rare KE7 prefix. :)
Worked W1AW/KH6 and AD6JP (but he is just 10 miles west of me) on all bands.
Found a nice bunch of SA station while S&P late in the contest which helped
the raw score. Not sure of the 'real' score - sometimes the exchange looked bad
but was good on the repeat request and other time - eh? Hard to really tell at
this stage - with lousy Condx I surpassed last years effort. Weird.
I was not much in a contesting mood - was supposed to be at a M/M op but the
Snow Storm in the PDX area nixed this event. Having to finally send off my
feline friend of 18 1/2 years - since she was 4 weeks old and abandoned with
her brother, put a big damper on things for me. Will miss the furry critter
sitting in my lap while contesting or having her swat at the mic on the
headset as I try to make voice contacts or insist that she be fed canned food
for dinner instead of the dry food in her bowl during a run or prime time
opening to the nether regions.
Thanks for all the Q's.
