Comments:
Had the best of intentions to make a serious mixed mode effort. Spent a
sleepless night on Thursday in the Newark airport. Tried to catch up on sleep
and woke up 15 minutes before the contest.
Started out on CW. When I switched to SSB, I discovered that Writelog was not
forwarding the mic audio to the radio. I could record messages and play them,
but no live audio. Probably a configuration error, but my bad for not checking
things out in advance. After 20 wasted mins, decided to go CW only.
Conditions were good enough to be entertaining, but certainly not great. I
spent a lot of time practicing with dual CQ. It is amazing how well it can
work, and how easily you can get messed up and sound like a lid.
Enjoyed watching the online scoreboard and chasing AA3B and K1MK. Especially
after I started taking breaks. It was fun to see if I could make progress on
catching them.
Surprised to work some EU HQ stations on 160. They were weak here, but seemed
to be hearing very well.
Finally at midnight, decided I had enough and packed it in.
