Comments:
In the 2013 CQ WW CW I worked to maximize my multipliers resulting in the
highest country multiplier I have ever achieved (586?) but noticed a great
reduction in my multi-band contacts due to focusing almost exclusively on the
N1MM "available multipliers box".
In this contest, I mixed my focus between the N1MM Band Map and Available
Multiplier Box resulting in contacts with 50 stations on all 5 bands from 80
through 10 meters with my best hour producing 85 contacts by the
'point-and-click' method.
That's sort of fun at the time BUT, I have less of a 'feel' for who is where
and a definite loss of satisfaction from finding the mults on my own.
My guess is that the Single Operators in the unassisted category get the
greatest feeling of accomplishment. I'm still sorting out how I want to play
this game with the N1MM Logging Program and declining capability to push as
hard as I used to along with a definite need to get away from the chair (and
radio) to 'recharge my batteries' as I enter my 6th Sunspot Cycle of DXing and
Contesting. I'm still recuperating from this contest and it's Wednesday!
