Comments:
That was absolutely brilliant.
Before starting i set myself a target of around 500 q's, i even thought that
would be difficult.
I also was aware that i would be one of the only MM3 out there, so glad to give
the mult out.
Started on 80 at the start gun and managed to pick things off with good success,
very few repeats were required, 40 was the same, these were my 2 best bands as
reflected with the numbers.
20 was much more difficult and a lot more patience was required, many just CQ'd
in my face often. Missed quite a lot of mults there that clearly were not
hearing me despite their good signals here.
i didnt hear anything on 15 all of saturday, despite checking multiple times.
heard a few on Sunday but did not respond to my calls, didnt waste much time
there.
Was glad to be able to get a few runs going, was successful in finding a clear
frequency high in the bands and being spotted by the skimmers, this brought a
number of callers too.
on a bad note, there are so many terrible signals out there, overdriven PA's and
clicky tones. Caused a lot of difficulty at times.
Loved this one.
If i knew that the score was going to be this good i would have taken my breaks
at more appropriate times.
Thanks to all for your patience and the Q's
Nice to meet many friends and see them on my screen.
