I missed PEI because I forgot that it was added this year. It wasn't listed on
my older WinTest logger. I felt pretty smug working the other 83 sections. The
other issue was my failure to change the SCP from DX to W/VE. So this was a
vintage SO1R operation with no assistance other than computer logging. My score
reduction may be significant.
I got a really great start compared with previous years. I try to get to 700
before shutting down at 1 am. I got to 686 at 0122 and there were no other
contacts to make. Sunday was Sunday, the same as it always is. I just kept
plugging away but still find the 1200 mark elusive. There were times when I
wished I was SO2R so I could listen on Radio 2 while transmitting on Radio 1 and
not getting replies to my CQ's.
Ironically my last US section was ORG. Activity was very low for a well
populated section,
I never get much traction on 15 meters. I can never get the rate up to the
level of 20 meters. But it is worthwhile to make a presence there to work some
that won't be on 20 meters. It was also good for all three of my VY1 contacts!
I missed the SS in 2019 and 2020. It was good to get back into it.
73, Kurt W6PH
