Comments:
I may be in a minority here but I really enjoyed it. Overall rate wasn't great
(a bit less than 30 per hour for close to 8 hours) but..a gigantic CME hit about
halfway through my second hour. I did manage a 80 per hour rate for a bit, and
that was with only one radio, and using the base WSJT-X for logging. I wasn't
able to get the N1MM+ integration working before the contest, so no SO2R (not
that it would have mattered much, 20M was pretty much it.) What I found
interesting is that, during the CME (K at 5, A at 36), I was still able to work
stations, even some EU on 20M). There is *no way* this would have been possible
with RTTY (huge flutter and *very* weak rx, I cant even imagine how much weaker
going the other way with absorption that high.) The way I see it is, with SO2R
working, a rate in the 120Q per hour area should be feasible. what would make
it a lot better would be to find someway to add a "Now" packet, which
would make stacking possible. Do that and you could get even higher rates.
This is going to be big.
