Comments:
I am not a CW op, and am still working on getting the code down. This was the
first CW contest where I haven't picked around the edges. Decided to do a
10m-only effort with a goal of finishing my DXCC on 10m before the solar cycle
crashes. I had no other real goal for the contest other than to work what I
could and to have fun.
Friday night was a 30 minute quick scan of the band, Saturday afternoon I spent
about an hour in the chair. Sunday brought some peace and quiet, and thus some
more serious chair time; totaling about 9 hours with breaks spread throughout.
All QSOs were S&P as I don't trust my CW ear enough to try and run a
frequency. The rig was my K3 running at 100w into my Inverted L antenna, using
a 250Hz filter setting on the rig.
I really enjoyed the contest and feel pretty good about the results. I'm
already looking forward to the next CW contest.
